Instructions

• 1. Begin by preheating the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and preparing a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. To start, rinse the large Yukon Gold potatoes in a colander to remove excess starch, then drain them.
  3. Transfer the potatoes to a spacious microwave-safe bowl, add 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil, and a teaspoon of kosher salt. Toss the potatoes to ensure they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Stir the potatoes, cover again, and microwave for an additional 2 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes well.
  4. Spread the drained potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them with the remaining grapeseed oil and toss to coat them evenly in oil. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  5. Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven until they turn golden brown, approximately 20 minutes. Stir the potatoes and continue roasting until they are uniformly browned, about 5 more minutes.
  6. While the potatoes are roasting, combine the softened unsalted butter, harissa paste, chopped fresh cilantro, and lemon zest in the same bowl. Mash the ingredients together using a fork. Taste the mixture and season with salt if necessary. Add the roasted potatoes to the harissa butter mixture and toss them until well coated. Serve the dish immediately.
