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:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of ground cumin. Set aside.
- Peel the 4 potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks. This will ensure they cook evenly.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
