Ingredients
| 3 | peeled and cubed |
|---|---|
| 2 | tablespoons divided |
| 1 | teaspoon or more to taste |
| 3 | tablespoons softened |
| 2 | tablespoons |
| 2 | tablespoons |
| 1 | zested |
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. |
