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.
Pairings/Usage for Roasted Potatoes
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!)

Notes
+ 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.

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!
