Best Moroccan Spiced Potatoes Recipes

MOROCCAN SPICED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the coriander, cumin, salt, turmeric, cinnamon, and paprika; set aside.
• Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a simmer over high heat. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Place the wok over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon canola oil; swirl to coat wok, and heat until just starting to smoke. Add the potatoes and reserved spices, and saute, stirring frequently, until potatoes just begin to brown, about 15 minutes. Add the remaining tablespoon of canola oil, red onion, and garlic, and continue to saute, stirring frequently until potatoes are golden, about 8 minutes more. Add the raisins, and stir to combine. Remove from heat; stir in the lemon juice and dill. Serve garnished with lemon zest and mint.

MOROCCAN SPICED ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Mince/crush the garlic and set aside in a bowl.
• Add the other spice paste ingredients and mix.
• Cover and leave for at least an hour before using, for the flavours to blend.
• After 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 300°F or 150°C (this is the temperature I use although my oven is fan-assisted so if yours is not, you may wish to use a slightly higher temperature).
• Peel and quarter the potatoes (cut larger potatoes into smaller chunks).
• Simmer them in a pan of boiling water for 5-6 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and gently shake them in the pan to roughen the edges (this produces crispy roasties!).
• Put the potatoes in a roasting tray. Add the spice paste and toss to coat the potatoes completely.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until done, turning halfway through cooking.
• Serve hot and enjoy!
