A flavorful and easy-to-make roasted potato dish inspired by Moroccan spices.
Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks.
Cutting the potatoes evenly ensures they cook at the same rate.
Boil the potatoes in a pot of salted water for 5 minutes, then drain and let them dry.
Boiling the potatoes slightly before roasting helps achieve a fluffy interior.
In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil to create the spice paste.
Mixing the spices with oil ensures even coating on the potatoes.
Toss the boiled potatoes in the spice paste until well coated.
Ensure all potatoes are evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Spread the potatoes on a roasting tray in a single layer and roast in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 30 minutes, turning halfway through.
Turning the potatoes halfway ensures even browning.
Serve the roasted potatoes hot and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added color and flavor.
