spice encrusted roast potatoes



This is a flavorsome potato recipe that works great as a side for most meat dishes, particularly those with a bold flavor. Whenever we want heat for a spice rub we use whole dried chillis, which can found in the Hispanic isle of many supermarkets. There is lot more complex flavor in the whole chilli rather than just using the dried seeds. We grind them at home and store in a jar.
