Spicy Roasted Potatoes

This is so flavorful, it makes a nice vegetarian main course. It is also a delicious accompaniment to Roast Turkey. Use Earth Balance Buttery Sticks or Spread Soybean margarine. If dairy isn't a problem, you could use Butter. I use about 1 1/2 tsp pepper flakes which is quite spicy.

What you need

  1. 2 small yukon gold potatoes
  2. 1 medium garnet yam
  3. 2 medium sweet potatoes
  4. Olive Oil
  5. Soybean Margarine
  6. Peeled & minced fresh ginger
  7. Garlic, lightly crushed
  8. Hot red pepper flakes
  9. Salt & Pepper

How to make it

  1. Heat oil and add margarine, minced ginger, garlic and hot pepper flakes.
  2. Allow to simmer while preparing potatoes.
  3. Peel & cube potatoes. I cut them into approx. 1 1/2 inch pieces.
  4. Pour the seasoned oil mixture over the potatoes and add salt & pepper.
  5. Mix well to coat the potatoes thoroughly.
  6. Roast in a hot oven (375 - 400º) until caramelized on the outside and the yukon gold & sweet potatoes are very tender. Approx 30 - 50 minutes.

The yams cook much faster than the other potatoes and will begin to mash by the time the others are ready. I like it this way, but you could keep them separate and add them after about 15 minutes or so. I crush the garlic cloves lightly and remove before pouring the oil over the potatoes.
