Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Strainer
  • Big bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg (35 oz) baby potatoes washed well, unpeeled
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
  • 4 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt divided (½ tablespoon for boiling and 1 teaspoon for roasting)
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary fresh, finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon dry garlic
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ⅛ teaspoon cumin powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon dry dill
  • 6-7 cups water for boiling the potatoes

Instructions
 

  • Wash your baby potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Don'tpeel them (the skin becomes crispy after roasting - so much better than french fries!). You can scrub them with a vegetable brush if you want them to be extra clean. Place them in a large pot, cover them with water, stir in ½ teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium and cook for 10 minutes, then drain the water.

  • In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, sesame seeds, spices, and herbs. Add boiled potatoes and toss everything together gently with a spoon. Mix them well to be evenly coated. If some of the seasoning mixes remain, pour it over potatoes when you transfer them on a baking sheet.

  • While you are preparing the seasonings, preheat the oven to 392°F / 200°C. Spread the potatoes to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast them in the oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

  • Choose potatoes that with approximately the same size so they can cook evenly,  at the same rate.
  • For this recipe, it's best to use small potatoes with thin skin and waxy flesh.
  • It will depend on the size of your baking sheet, but see that you leave some space between potatoes so they can be roasted properly and be crispy, rather than being only steamed.
