Background

Roast potatoes can be jazzed up with herbs, such as rosemary or thyme. I like adding spices too - paprika, cumin seeds, turmeric and so on. These roast potatoes with paprika and garlic are very yummy and easy to make. They fit well in a roast dinner or Sunday roast menu. If you’d like the potatoes very crispy, then mash them slightly with a fork, before adding the spiced butter, then halfway through roasting, when you turn them around.

Ingredients

½ kg potatoes
50g soft butter or dairy-free spread
1 tsp sweet paprika
1 pinch of cayenne
3 cloves of garlic
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp ground pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Scrub the potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized pieces. Put them in a pan of slightly salted cold water. Bring to the boil, cook for 10 minutes, then drain.
Transfer the potatoes to a roasting dish.
Mix the paprika, cayenne, oregano, salt, pepper and garlic, then crumble this over the potatoes.
Roast for 15 minutes, then turn over the potatoes, drizzle maybe with some oil, if needed and roast for another 15-20 minutes, until golden and crispy.
Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley.
