Roast potatoes with cumin salt

Roast potatoes with cumin salt are a delightful side dish that combines the earthy flavor of cumin with the rich, buttery taste of perfectly roasted potatoes. This recipe is simple to follow and uses common ingredients to create a flavorful and satisfying dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses.

Ingredients:

1 tsp salt
5g
1 tsp ground cumin
5g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
4 potatoes
800g
1 tbsp butter
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Prepare the Cumin Salt
- In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of ground cumin. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Potatoes
- Peel the 4 potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks. This will ensure they cook evenly.
4. Parboil the Potatoes
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 10 minutes or until they are just starting to become tender but still firm in the center.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a few minutes to steam dry.
5. Coat and Season the Potatoes
- Transfer the parboiled potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
- Spray a short spray of cooking spray oil over the potatoes and toss them gently to evenly coat.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the potatoes and toss again to ensure even distribution.
- Sprinkle the cumin salt mixture over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
6. Roast the Potatoes
- Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a baking tray.
- Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast for about 30-40 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
7. Serving
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the roast potatoes hot as a delicious side dish to your preferred entrée.

Tips:

- Choose potatoes that are similar in size to ensure they cook evenly.

- Feel free to experiment with additional spices such as paprika or garlic powder to enhance the flavor.

- For extra crispiness, parboil the potatoes for a few minutes before roasting.

- Make sure the potatoes are spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet to avoid steaming and ensure even roasting.

- You can also use olive oil instead of butter for a different flavor profile.

Enjoy your flavorful and crispy roast potatoes with cumin salt! These potatoes make a perfect side dish for any meal, adding a deliciously savory touch to your plate. The combination of cumin and butter elevates the humble potato to a new level of culinary delight.
