I remembered I have two more flavor profiles I love for roasted potatoes.
Following the same base recipe for 2kg of potatoes.
Indian flavored roasted potatoes:
- 3 tsp coriander seeds
- 3 tsp mustard seeds (black)
- 3 tsp cumin seeds
- 3 tsp poppy seeds
- a large pinch of hing (optional)
- chili flakes or chopped fresh chili to taste
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped roasted peanuts
- a bit of MSG or 1.5 tsp nutritional yeast (optional)
- 1 to 1.5 tsp salt
- 2 tsp turmeric
- To finish: pepper and cilantro (optional)
- Fry the spices (coriander, mustard, cumin, poppy, hing, chili) in the fat of your choice (ghee is best for this) until popping.
- Strain the seeds and reserve along with the peanuts.
- Mix potatoes with flavored oil, MSG/yeast, salt and turmeric.
- Bake.
- Mix with the seeds and peanuts, add some black pepper, and optionally cilantro.
Greek flavored roasted potatoes:

- 3-4 tbsp fresh oregano or 3 tsp dry oregano
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- a bit of MSG or 1.5 tsp nutritional yeast (optional)

To finish:

- zest of one lemon
- apx 6 tbsp chopped dill
