Ingredients
For the Potatoes:
- 4 medium Yukon Gold or baby potatoes, halved or quartered (about 4 cups)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1–2 teaspoons adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo, adjust for spice level)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (plus extra wedges for serving)
Optional Garnish:
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- Lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat and Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil until evenly coated.
Season the Potatoes:
3. In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the spice blend over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly. Add the adobo sauce and lime juice, mixing well to ensure the potatoes are fully seasoned.
Roast the Potatoes:
4. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side down for maximum crispiness. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
Finish and Serve:
5. Remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve warm with additional lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
Pairing Suggestions:
6. These Spicy Chipotle Potatoes pair perfectly with grilled chicken, steak, or fish tacos, or can be enjoyed as a standalone snack or appetizer.
