Turmeric, paprika and salt are used to spice up floury potatoes. A little oil is the only other ingredient you need to make this. Served as a side dish with meat or fish, these potatoes are easy and yummy!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 lbs (2¼ kg) peeled, chopped floury potatoes
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Black pepper and/or cayenne pepper, to taste (optional)
  • Sour cream and/or shredded cheese, to serve (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F (190C).
  2. Add the turmeric to a pot of boiling, salted water.
  3. Add the potatoes and simmer, covered, for 4 minutes.
  4. Put the oil in a roasting pan and put it in the oven for 5 minutes to heat up.
  5. Drain the par-cooked potatoes and shake them to roughen the surfaces (just a little, not too much) because this helps them crisp.
  6. Tip the potatoes into the hot oil, then toss with a metal spoon.
  7. Sprinkle with paprika (and a little cayenne if liked).
  8. Roast for 1 1/4 hours without turning them, or until crisp and golden brown.
  9. Sprinkle salt over them (maybe some black pepper too if liked).
  10. Serve hot with some sour cream and/or cheese on top.
