Notes

  1. After washing the potatoes pat dry them with a clean kitchen towel to get rid of the excess moisture.
  2. Cut the potatoes into equal-sized pieces for even baking.
  3. You can add more herbs and seasonings to the sauce. Create different versions by using different seasonings and sauces. Non-vegans may also add mayonnaise and shredded cheese to the sauce
  4. Toss the potato cubes well i.e. until the sauce evenly coats every piece.
  5. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  6. For a more refreshing and tangy taste add lemon zest and lemon juice to the sauce.
  7. To get a richer tomato flavor, add 1-2 tablespoons of tomato paste to the sauce.
  8. Don't skip smoked paprika as these potatoes get their unique taste from it. To increase the heat level of the dish, add a hot sauce of choice, hot paprika, or any hot red chili powder.
