Description
Potatoes are roasted until tender on the inside, yet crisp and flavorful on the outside. Rubbed with a flavorful spice blend before they go in the oven, these spicy harissa roasted potatoes are a new take on a classic. They are especially good with a side of quick buttermilk dill dressing to cool things down a bit!
