Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 russet potato
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 lemon juice of

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat it with cooking spray.
  2. Wash and dry the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into cubes and toss them with 2 tbsp olive oil. Arrange the potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer, make sure they're not overlapping.
  3. Roast the potatoes in the oven for 40 minutes, flip them halfway through using a spatula.
  4. To make the sauce, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the garlic for one minute and add the tomato paste, cayenne pepper, paprika and chili flakes. Stir for 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Add the potatoes and chopped cilantro. Give it a stir and add the lemon juice. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • It's best to serve these potatoes right away, however, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or the microwave. 
  • If you like the potatoes spicier, add more cayenne pepper or some harissa. To make less spicy potatoes, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper. 
  • Don't overcrowd the pan so they potatoes get crispy on all sides.
