Masala-roasted Potatoes
Serves: 4
Used in Indian cooking, Masala is a blend of spices ground into a powder or paste. Yukon Gold potatoes are excellent in this recipe. Russet potatoes, with their higher starch content, are better for baking or frying.
Store potatoes in a dark, dry, cool place; do not refrigerate them. They should not be exposed to sunlight; this can cause the development of the toxic alkaloid solanine to form, evidenced by the green color that builds up in the potato.
