Crispy oven-roasted potatoes in a seasoned cornmeal crust — golden and crunchy outside, fluffy inside. An easy vegan side dish spiced with sweet and smoked paprika, garlic and rosemary.
Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes. Put them in a large bowl and drizzle the olive oil over them, then toss well to coat every piece evenly.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornmeal with all the spices. Slowly sprinkle this mixture over the oiled potatoes, tossing so each piece is evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a tray lined with baking paper and bake for 40-45 minutes, until nicely browned and crispy.
Notes
For maximum crispiness, spread the potatoes in a single layer so they roast instead of steaming. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in a hot oven to bring back the crunch.
