Ingredients List
Here’s what you’ll need to make these luscious lovelies:
• 3 Large russet potatoes (sweet potatoes work as a delightful alternative)
• 2 Tbsp of Olive oil
• 1.5 Tbsp of Ground turmeric
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• A handful of freshly chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Begin by preheating your oven to a relatively toasty 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures your prized potatoes don’t stubbornly stick.
2. Next, it’s time to prep the potatoes. Scrub them well, then slice them into thick wedges or cubes—whatever floats your boat.
3. In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with the olive oil and turmeric. Season generously with salt and pepper. The potatoes should be evenly coated and gloriously golden.
4. Arrange your turmeric-coated spuds on the baking sheet, making sure they have a bit of elbow room.
5. Roast these golden gems for about 20 minutes, then flip them for even browning, and let them roast for another 20 minutes or so. By the time they’re done, they should be crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and delicious all over.
