It's not the most unusual, but my favorite are roasted potatoes. For the last few years I follow Kenji's method, but use the spice mixture I've been using for more than a decade.
For the 4 pounds of potatoes the linked recipe calls for I add:
- 2 tsp sweet paprika
- 1 tsp spicy paprika (or another tsp of sweet one plus some dried chili)
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/3 tsp turmeric
- a little MSG or 2 tsp nutritional yeast (optional)
- 1 to 1.5 tsp salt
- a couple tbsp of bread crumbs
- To finish: pepper, lemon zest and parsley
All those are mixed with the potatoes and oil before baking.
Before serving add pepper, a bit of lemon zest and a handful of parsley.
To be clear, I do not include the garlic and rosemary the recipe calls for in my version. Though the original recipe is great as is if you'r looking for the classic flavor.
