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
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- 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.
- 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.
- Put the potato slices into the bowl and mix everything around so that all of the slices get well coated.
- 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.
- Put in the oven and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until they start to go golden brown.
- Serve.

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.

I am originally from the Philadelphia area of the United States but have been living in London, UK since 1996. I now have dual American and British citizenship. I became a widow at the age of 27 in 2004 but have managed to fall in love again and was married again on July 19, 2008.
I have a double major honors degree in sociology and politics and am slowly working my way through a Masters.
I am a wanabee writer but until that dream becomes a reality I work in internet marketing where I build websites for profit. So, it is nice to come to a site like this and just enjoy being on the internet rather than using it as a work environment.
I am a BBW (big woman) but over the past two years I have lost over 80lbs and am working my way down the scales slowly but steadily.
These days, I am trying to eat a lot less meat. So, I am trying to have as many vegetarian recipes in the week as I can manage. I have started a blog - <a href="http://weekendcarnivore.com/">Weekend Carnivore</a> where I blog about trying to eat a mostly vegetarian diet. I share a lot of my discovered recipes there. If I make one of your vegetarian recipes and I managed to take a good photo of it, chances are I will blog about it and tell everybody how much I enjoyed it.
