Moroccan Spiced Roast Potatoes image

These potatoes are my favourite kind- crispy, flavourful and delicious! The spice paste here is my Moroccan spice paste with added olive oil but I've copied it out here in full to make the recipe easier to use. Cooking time includes time for the spices to blend. Thanks to a review, here is a suggestion if using a convection oven- cook for 40 minutes total, the first 15 mins at 350F and thereafter turn it up to 400F.

Categories     Potato

Time 1h10m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs potatoes, suitable for roasting
4 fresh garlic cloves
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper (not ground)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
4 teaspoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Mince/crush the garlic and set aside in a bowl.
  • Add the other spice paste ingredients and mix.
  • Cover and leave for at least an hour before using, for the flavours to blend.
  • After 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 300°F or 150°C (this is the temperature I use although my oven is fan-assisted so if yours is not, you may wish to use a slightly higher temperature).
  • Peel and quarter the potatoes (cut larger potatoes into smaller chunks).
  • Simmer them in a pan of boiling water for 5-6 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and gently shake them in the pan to roughen the edges (this produces crispy roasties!).
  • Put the potatoes in a roasting tray. Add the spice paste and toss to coat the potatoes completely.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until done, turning halfway through cooking.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a little more salt. Other than that, it's perfect.

I used a variety of spices that I had on hand, and the potatoes turned out great. I can't wait to try this recipe again with different spice combinations.

The potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, just the way I like them.
