Moroccan Inspired Baked Potato Slices

Submitted by Sarah_Jayne

"I enjoy coming up with different types of oven fries to satisfy my craving for fries while still staying within the ranges of my low fat diet. This is my most recent creation. My husband went 'mmmm' when he tasted the first one. So, i am thinking it is worth posting and sharing :)"

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs potatoes
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cilantro
• 1⁄8 teaspoon turmeric
• 1⁄8 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1⁄4 teaspoon chili pepper flakes
• 1 garlic clove
• 1⁄2 lemon, juice and zest of

directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Slice the potatoes into fairly thin but not ultra thin slices. I usually aim to make them about half the width of my fingernail. Leave the skin on for extra goodness and taste.
3. In a large bowl combine the oil, the spices, the lemon juice and zest. Mince your garlic and also put that in the bowl. However, I suggest actually grating your peeled garlic into the bowl. I use a microplane grater for this and I think it gives the garlic more punch in the mix.
4. Put the potato slices into the bowl and mix everything around so that all of the slices get well coated.
5. Line a baking tray with foil (I do this even with my non-stick ones for easy cleanup) and transfer the slices to the tray.
6. Put in the oven and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until they start to go golden brown.
7. Serve.

We enjoyed these tasty potatoes very much. You could taste all the individual flavors which was lovely. The potatoes were tender on top and crisp on the bottom. I used dried cliantro because I didn't have any ground. Thanks for sharing your recipe Sarah_Jayne.

I liked the spice mixture on the potatoes. It was different and perked up oven potatoes. Made during ZWT6.

Fabulous!!! What a great easy way to do potatoes! Only change I made was to use 1/2 teaspoon fresh chopped cilantro. Easy and delicious!! Made for Team SSaSSy - ZWT6!

These were great! Cinnamon is one of my favorite spices and did not disappoint in this potato dish. I added a turnip since I had one in the fridge to be used and that also tasted wonderful with this mix of spices. I cubed my potatoes and turned the heat up to 425 and they were nice and golden in 30 minutes. Made for ZWT6.

Great potatoes, the flavors were nice and I like the taste of oven baked potatoes. I have a french fry cutter, so I just used that and it worked fine. Made for ZWT6.
