  • Total Time
    1 hrs 10 mins

Ingredients

  • Spritz of cooking spray
  • Generous half cup of freshly squeezed orange juice
  • Quarter cup of fragrant olive oil
  • Six cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • Two spoonfuls of tangy Dijon mustard
  • Two tablespoons of zesty lemon juice
  • One and a half spoonfuls of crushed, aromatic dried oregano
  • One and a half spoonfuls of salt
  • One spoonful of freshly ground black pepper
  • One spoonful of ground cumin
  • One spoonful of ground turmeric
  • Three pounds of slender fingerling potatoes
  • Three tablespoons of freshly chopped thyme leaves

Step 1

To start, get your oven all cozy at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Then, give a little love to a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with a spritz of cooking spray.

Step 2

Now, let's get creative! In a food processor, blend together a zesty mix of orange juice, olive oil, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, oregano, salt, pepper, cumin, and turmeric until it's a thick, flavorful sauce.

Step 3

Next, lay out your potatoes like they're sunbathing in the baking dish and drizzle that vibrant sauce all over them. Give 'em a good toss to make sure they're all dressed up.

Step 4

Pop the dish into the preheated oven, cover it up, and let it bake for about 40 minutes. Then, uncover and let those potatoes get nice and tender for another 20 minutes. For a final touch, sprinkle some fresh thyme on top to add a burst of aroma and freshness. Enjoy your deliciously roasted potatoes!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your potatoes in a cool, dark place to maintain their freshness and prevent sprouting.
  2. 2. Store them in a breathable container like a paper bag or a mesh bag to allow air circulation.
  3. 3. Avoid storing potatoes near onions or apples, as they release gases that can cause potatoes to spoil faster.
