Ingredients
- 4 fresh garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper (not ground)
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 lbs potatoes, suitable for roasting
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!
