Ingredients
- 1 pound potatoes (Yukon gold or small new potatoes; a mix of small yellow and red potatoes, skin on)
- ½ cup avocado oil (olive or vegetable oil can be substituted)
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (paprika can be substituted, or omit if preferred)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt (more to taste, added after potatoes are cooked)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional garnish: Fresh dill or parsley
Instructions
- Heat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly coating it with oil.
- Get the Potatoes Ready: Clean and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into evenly sized pieces, about 1-inch chunks, ensuring they cook evenly.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the avocado oil, ground turmeric, chili powder (or paprika), garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a seasoned oil mixture.
- Coat the Potatoes: Add the cut potatoes to the bowl and toss them in the seasoned oil mixture until they are evenly coated.
- Roast the Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy and golden on the exterior, and soft and tender on the interior. Stir the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
- Season and Garnish: Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sample the dish and add more salt if necessary to enhance the flavor.
