Spicy Harissa Potatoes (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1.5 lbs baby potatoes, cut in half
02 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
03 -
1 teaspoon kosher salt
04 -
2 tablespoons harissa paste
05 -
Fresh lemon juice, to taste
06 -
Chopped parsley, for garnish
# Instructions:
01 -
Get your oven nice and hot at 425°F while you prepare everything else.
02 -
Grab a bowl and toss those halved baby potatoes with the olive oil, kosher salt, and just 1 tablespoon of the harissa paste until they're all coated nicely.
03 -
Spread your seasoned potatoes out in one layer on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven for about 25-28 minutes. Give them a good toss halfway through. You'll know they're done when you can easily pierce them with a fork.
04 -
Once they're out of the oven, toss the hot potatoes with that remaining tablespoon of harissa paste. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten everything up.
# Notes:
01 -
Harissa paste is a North African condiment easily found in well-stocked grocery stores. The Mina brand has a chunkier sauce consistency and comes in mild or spicy options.
02 -
I used the spicy variety which gave these potatoes a medium heat level. Different brands vary in spiciness, so taste yours first and adjust the amount to match your heat preference.

These spicy potatoes make an excellent side dish that pairs beautifully with grilled meats, fish, or vegetarian mains.
