Preparation

Step 1

1 Mince/crush the garlic and set aside in a bowl.

2 Add the other spice paste ingredients and mix.

3 Cover and leave for at least an hour before using, for the flavors to blend.

4 After 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 300°F or 150°C (this is the temperature I use although my oven is fan-assisted so if yours is not, you may wish to use a slightly higher temperature).

5 Peel and quarter the potatoes (cut larger potatoes into smaller chunks).

6 Simmer them in a pan of boiling water for 5-6 minutes.

7 Drain the potatoes and gently shake them in the pan to roughen the edges (this produces crispy roasties!).

8 Put the potatoes in a roasting tray. Add the spice paste and toss to coat the potatoes completely.

9 Bake for 30 minutes, or until done, turning halfway through cooking.

10 Serve hot and enjoy!
