How To Make:


To make Spicy Crisp Roast Potatoes, start by preheating the oven to 425°F (220°C) and washing and cutting potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Next, toss the potato pieces in a mixture of olive oil, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated. Spread the potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. They can be served as a side dish with roasted chicken or grilled meat, or as a snack on their own. You can also customize the spice level to your liking by adjusting the amount of chili powder and black pepper. Enjoy!



Here are some tips and variations to consider when making Spicy Crisp Roast Potatoes:


Choose the right type of potato: Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes are great options for roasting as they are starchy and will become crispy on the outside while remaining fluffy on the inside.

Cut the potatoes evenly: Try to cut the potato pieces into similar sizes so that they cook evenly and become crisp at the same rate.

Use parchment paper: Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper can prevent the potatoes from sticking and make clean-up easier.

Add fresh herbs: After the potatoes come out of the oven, toss them with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added freshness and flavor.

Serve with dipping sauce: Spicy Crisp Roast Potatoes are delicious on their own but also taste great with a dipping sauce. Try serving them with a cool and creamy dip like sour cream or Greek yogurt, or a spicy tomato-based dip.

Adjust the spice level: Increase or decrease the number of spices used depending on your preference for heat. For a milder version, reduce the amount of chili powder and black pepper, and for a spicier version, increase the amount of chili powder or add some cayenne pepper.

Add other seasonings: Experiment with different seasonings to create your own unique flavor profile. Some options include cumin, smoked paprika, onion powder, or even a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
