Tired of trying the same old boring roasted potatoes? Try these spicy oven roasted potatoes with a zing of chili pepper and turmeric. They are perfect for snacking, or as a side dish.

My kids munch on these potatoes like popcorn. This recipe is an Indian twist on American roasted potatoes. Simple to prepare, yet very flavorful. If you like a kick of cayenne pepper or chili powder, you will love this recipe.

Golden roasted potatoes packed in heat from the red pepper with the aroma of turmeric. And, it doesn’t require any special ingredients to make them.

What's in These Spicy Potatoes?

These oven-roasted spicy potatoes are a favorite in my family. This recipe doesn't require any fancy ingredients. A handful of pantry spices and potatoes is all you need. See the ingredient list below for substitute options.

  • Potato: I am using peeled Idaho russet potatoes for this recipe. Any other potatoes with skin or without skin would work fine as well. The cooking time may vary depending on the type of potatoes you use.
  • Oil: a good drizzle of any neutral oil should work fine.

Spices

  • Chili Powder: I love using Kashmiri red chili pepper in all my recipes. Cayenne pepper, Aleppo pepper, or any other chili powder should work fine for spicy potatoes.
  • Turmeric Powder: please invest in turmeric powder if your pantry doesn't have it. No substitute for turmeric.
  • Cumin & Coriander Powder: I love the combination of nutty and mildly sweet flavors of cumin and coriander powder. See the instructions for homemade cumin-coriander powder below.
  • Salt: I am using pink Himalayan salt for this recipe and salt measurements are developed for pink Himalayan salt. Please adjust the salt quantity according to your taste preference and the type of salt you are using.

How to Make Cumin Coriander Powder

Homemade ground spices have incredible flavors. To make a homemade blend of cumin and coriander, you'll need cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and spice or a coffee grinder. Ground cumin and coriander makes any savory recipe flavorful.

  • Toast 4 tablespoons each of cumin seeds and coriander seeds in a skillet on low heat for 2 minutes.
  • Cool down for 5 minutes then grind the seeds in a spice or coffee grinder until a fine powder.
  • Store the ground cumin and coriander in an air-tight jar or a container.
  • This recipe makes about ½ cup of ground cumin and coriander blend.
  • Great for using in curries, and all South Asian savory recipes.

Tip for Oven Roasting Spiced Potatoes

Use parchment paper to line the baking sheet. This will help prevent the spices from burning. Direct contact on a hot baking sheet might burn the spices.
