Roast Potato Salad!!! yet again!!

Roast potatoes are a perfect side dish for fish, meat or chicken.
I like to experiment with my favourite herbs for a change of pace.
Took this wonderful recipe from my friend who made this at a small get together.
If you’re ready for a new take on the tired old potato salad, you’ll definitely want to try this rather spicy potato salad.

My twist is to directly roast then parboil n roast the potatoes, this way they are crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside

Here is the recipe:

Wash small new potatoes and toss them with a tablespoon of oil, and salt .
Then bake them in the oven for 20 mins on 200 deg C..
You may want to turn them around half-way.

In a big bowl mix 1 tablespoon of red chilli flakes,6-7 green chillis finely chopped, one teaspoon roughly ground black peppers, 1 tblsp lemon juice, 1 tblsp ketchup, salt per taste & handful of chopped coriander leaves. You can add more lemon & ketchup as per your taste.

Cut the cooked potatoes into half & toss in the mixture above. They should marinate on the mix for at least half-an-hour before serving..

It does come out to be very spicy & tangy as well.

The result, a wonderful, colourful Roasted Potato Salad bursting with pure, bright summer flavour to brighten any dull and dreary day.
