If you want to astound your family/ guests with great food, start with the best appetizer! Who doesn't love potatoes? How about oven-roasted potatoes? You know where I'm coming to...:)
2 Potatoes
1 Green Bellpepper/Capsicum
1 tbsp Tabasco sauce (you could increase/reduce this to suit your palate!)
1 garlic clove
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1 tbsp Olive oil
Some Salt and Pepper to taste
Enjoy while still warm from the oven, just like you relish potato wedges or fries. This one, being baked is infact better!
For kids who find this too hot n spicy, serve with tomato ketch-up :)

Spanish Potatoes |
This Is All You Need -
2 Potatoes
1 Green Bellpepper/Capsicum
1 tbsp Tabasco sauce (you could increase/reduce this to suit your palate!)
1 garlic clove
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1 tbsp Olive oil
Some Salt and Pepper to taste
Tabasco sauce with Garlic |
How To -
- Cook potatoes for exactly 10 minutes (so that they don't get over-cooked) in a pot with water to cover them.
- Peel potatoes cooked al-dente and cube them into uniform size.
- Chop capcicum/bell pepper into fairly large squares.
- Take a bowl, pour olive oil, add the veggies, sprinkle cinnamon and cumin powder and mix well. Pour the Tabasco sauce and mix (I used Tabasco sauce with garlic in it, so omitted the fresh garlic; You could mince garlic fine and add at this stage). Season with salt and pepper.
Olive oil, Potatoes , cinnamon and cumin powder |
Added capsicum, salt and pepper |
Mix once and pour Tabasco sauce and mix again |
- Bake for about 10-15 minutes at 180 deg Celsius until potatoes are reddish-brown and well-roasted.
Ready to go in, place each cube separately to get well-roasted |
