Spicy Roasted Potatoes
Serves 2 as a main, 4 as a side

Ingredients
3lbs Idaho (Russet) potatoes
Extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon smoked spanish paprika
2 teaspoons ground aleppo pepper
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 cup Parmesan, grated (optional)

Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash and scrub potatoes, but don't bother to peel. Dice into 3/4" cubes and place in a large bowl. Drizzle generously with Extra virgin olive oil and toss to coat. Season generously with kosher salt. Add the paprika,  aleppo, black, and cayenne peppers, and toss again.

Spread out on a baking sheet and roast 25 minutes. Use a spatula to stir and flip the potatoes, and return to the oven for about another 15-20 minutes, or until golden and completely cooked.

Taste and adjust seasoning. Top with fresh cilantro and Parmesan. Serve immediately.
