Ingredients
- 2 lb Yukon gold potatoes
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, ghee, or melted butter
- 2 teaspoons EACH: curry powder and mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon EACH: turmeric, garlic powder, and onion powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- Minced cilantro or parsley for serving
Instructions
- Turn your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the potatoes into 8 pieces each. (First, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Then, place them cut side down and cut both halves lengthwise then cut them crosswise once to make cubes.)
- Add the baking soda to a large pot of water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes and boil them for 10 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes using a colander then shake the colander to rough up the potatoes. They should look like they're coated in mashed potatoes. Let them dry for 1 minute.
- While the potatoes are cooking, make the curry oil. Heat the oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add the curry powder, mustard seeds, turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and let it simmer for 1 minute.
- Transfer the potatoes to a bowl, pour the curry oil over the top, and mix well.
- Spread the potatoes out in an even layer on the baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. Turn the potatoes over and then continue to bake for another 10-15 minutes, until they are golden brown and super crispy. Serve the potatoes with minced parsley or cilantro sprinkled over top.
