Spiced Roast New Potatoes.
About this spicy potatoes recipe.
This recipe could not be easier. You could use commercially available ground spices but I like to roast and grind my own.
The spices don’t need to be ground to a fine powder. In fact, I prefer them to be roughly ground. Roasting them first adds beautiful spicy flavour that compliments the natural flavour of the potatoes.
How to serve these spicy potatoes.
These are so delicious served hot from the oven but they are equally as good served cold with a good raita for a picnic. Try stirring them into this Indian style yoghurt sauce. It’s very simple and a great way to serve them.
What do you serve these potatoes with?
These spicy potatoes are an excellent and healthy alternative to Basmati rice with a curry. You might like to try some of these new one pot curry house style curries with them.
They are also amazing as a side for lamb raan, tandoori chicken, tandoori fish or anything really. They’re potatoes!
Can you add these spicy potatoes to a curry?
Yep! Why not? Adding pre-cooked potatoes to a curry is done often. It’s a great way to use up any leftovers you might have.
Try adding them to railway lamb curry, or aloo gosht for example.
Roast your spices over medium heat. I made a lot more than you need for this recipe.
All ready for the hot oven!

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
- 1.5 kilo new potatoes or other potatoes of choice
- 3 tablespoons rapeseed oil
- 4 cloves garlic - lightly smashed but in their skin

- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Start by roasting your whole spices over medium high heat in a dry frying pan until fragrant but not smoking. Grind roughly in a pestle and mortar or spice grinder.
- Cut the new potatoes in half or in thirds so that all of the pieces are close in size.
- Mix evenly with the oil, ground spices, garlic and chilli powder or paprika. Set aside for about a half hour or more.
