SPICED & ROASTED POTATOES

Spiced Potatoes is one recipe you do not want to miss. It's not only an easy recipe to make but it's bursting with flavors of garlic, parsley, red chili flakes, and Garam Masala.

I'm a die-hard fan of potatoes. If there is a potato dish on the table, then I need to try it no matter how full I am. Potatoes are so versatile that they go great when fried, baked, mashed, roasted, etc.

I try different ways to use potatoes by experimenting with spices. This dish is a medley of potatoes and carrots, and the sweetness of carrots gives a unique flavor to the potatoes.

I personally prefer Yukon Gold Potatoes as they are soft & creamy in texture and yet bring nice color to the dish. So I usually have them in my pantry as I use them for most of my dishes.

You can use Russet Potatoes and Red Potatoes too for this dish. Basically, you can use any potato you have in the pantry. I like using baby potatoes for the recipe because then I don't need to cut them. So whatever baby potatoes you wanna use, this recipe always turns out great.

1. BOIL THE POTATOES: First boil the potatoes in Ninja Foodi by pressure cooking at HIGH for 5 minutes. Let pressure release naturally or you can also Quick Release after 10 minutes of NPR.
2. PEEL THE POTATOES: This is totally optional, I like potatoes with skin-off so I peel them before air frying. You can use potatoes with skin or without skin.
3. ADD SPICES: In a bowl mix 1-2 tablespoon oil with spices and combine with the boiled potatoes.
4. AIR FRY: Transfer potatoes in an air fryer basket and air-fry at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes (or more, if needed).
5. ADJUST & SERVE: Adjust the seasoning (if needed). Sprinkle some lemon juice & some chopped cilantro or parsley.

Usually, I never have any leftovers whenever I make Spiced Potatoes. But if you have any leftovers, then you can store them in the refrigerator for 2-4 days.

For reheating, you can air fry them in your Air Fryer or Mealthy Crisplid or Ninja Foodi. Or you can also pan-fry or microwave the dish.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why boil/ steam potatoes before roasting?

Though boiling/ steaming the potatoes are not needed, but I do recommend it. Boiling/ steaming the potatoes will help in making the roasted potatoes soft from inside while crispier from outside. If you don't boil then potatoes may turn dry & won't taste that good.

What spices to add in Spiced & Roasted Potatoes?

Potatoes are so versatile that you can add any spice and still tastes great. You can add Indian spices like garam masala, roasted cumin powder, etc. Or tastes good with Italian Seasoning & Garlic too.

What to serve Spiced & Roasted Potatoes with?

These potatoes are themselves so flavorful but you still serve them with your favorite dipping sauce. You can serve them with Ranch. Or mix mayonnaise & Sriracha and serve potatoes with that.
