• Anti-Inflammatory Boost: Turmeric is a superfood powerhouse, especially when paired with a crack of black pepper to help your body absorb all that goodness.
• Versatile Side: These pair perfectly with everything from roast chicken and grilled fish to a simple green salad.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs Starchy potatoes (PEI Potatoes), peeled and cubed
• 3 tbsp Olive oil (or melted Ghee for extra richness)
• 1 tbsp Annada Turmeric Powder
• 1 tsp Garlic powder½ tsp Black pepper (essential for activating the turmeric!)
• 1 tsp Sea salt (plus more for finishing)

Optional: A pinch of chilli powder for heat or fresh parsley for garnish

Step-by-Step Directions

1. The Secret Soak & Parboil

Peel your potatoes and cut them into 1-inch chunks. Place them in a pot of cold salted water and bring to a boil. Let them simmer for about 8–10 minutes. You want them fork-tender on the outside but still firm in the middle.

2. Rough Up the Edges

Drain the potatoes thoroughly. Place the lid back on the pot and give it a firm shake. This "roughs up" the potatoes' surface, creating a starchy coating that will turn into an incredible crust once roasted.

3. Coat in Liquid Gold

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil (or ghee), Annada Turmeric Powder, garlic powder, and Annada Black Pepper. Add the warm potatoes to the bowl and toss gently until every piece is coated in that vibrant yellow spice blend.

4. Roast to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Pro Tip: Make sure they aren't crowded, or they’ll steam instead of roast! Bake for 25–30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until they are deep gold and crispy.

5. The Finishing Touch

Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with a final pinch of sea salt and fresh herbs if desired.

Serving Suggestion

Serve these hot alongside a cooling yogurt dip or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. They stay crispy for a surprisingly long time, making them a great addition to your weekly meal prep!
