I have my weaknesses and potatoes top that list. I'm often the girl that orders/makes a perfectly good salad but will tack on an order of fries. I don't discriminate either, any kind of potato will do- red, sweet, gold, russet. Each has a use in my kitchen. This recipe for roasted potatoes is a step up from my normal, plain roasted potatoes. While the harissa softens the crispness of the potato, the flavor makes up for it.
These roasted potatoes are extremely versatile. You can, of course, eat them as a side dish just from this recipe but I've used them in a few different ways. One of which, stuffed in an omelette, has become a favorite in my house. If you want, you can also swap out the yukon gold potatoes for sweet potatoes!
Breakfast: Serve with Eggs or in an Omelette (this roasted potato mixture works really great in an omelette!)
Lunch: Use to top a salad (like in a salad like this warm roasted potato arugula salad), throw on top of grains with a hardboiled egg or white beans, or just eat as as a side a dish like this Garlicky Spinach Millet.
Dinner: Serve along side your favorite veg burger (I prefer this brown rice one or the patty melt version!)
Extra Harissa? Try one of these recipes: Harissa Lentil and Cauliflower, Harissa + Egg Grilled Cheese, or Harissa and Avocado Grilled Cheese. Bon Appétit also has a great slideshow with some harissa inspiration!
+ My harissa recipe is a cheat method and not near as spicy as a traditional harissa recipe. If you want to try your hand at a traditional recipe, here is a good one from Saveur.
I am with you when it comes to potatoes. pinning this.
Yummmmm potatoes potatoes potatoes! Nothing beats a classic roasty, but I do love to switch it up with different flavours sometimes. Harissa is a stroke of genius... I would probably eat these on their own... directly from the pan...
Oooh, I love harissa - lovingly known as the magic sauce in our house because of its versatility. Great pairing ideas for your roasted potatoes - they all sound wonderful!
Potatoes - nothing more needs to be said. So versatile and so delicious. I haven't tried harissa yet but will be trying it now.
