Ingredients

  • 2 lbs potatoes cut into 2-inch cubes (can be peeled or skin-on)
  • 2 Tbsps avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Sauce:

  • 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 3 fresh garlic cloves minced
  • 1 x 14 oz jar high-quality chopped tomatoes
  • 1 pint fresh cherry tomatoes chopped
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes
  • 2 tsps smoked paprika
  • 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp raw honey
  • sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat your oven to 425 degrees f. and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Carefully add in your chopped potatoes and simmer for 3 minutes. Drain really well, then transfer to the prepared baking tray.
  • Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with sea salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Toss then arrange in a single layer.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until nicely crisp and golden.

To make your sauce:

  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Sauté the onion until it softens, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for a minute longer.
  • Stir in the jarred and freshly chopped tomatoes together with your chili flakes, paprika, balsamic, and honey.
  • Simmer, stirring occasionally for about 12-15 minutes, or until thickened a bit.
  • Taste and adjust the seasonings to your preferences.
  • Arrange the potatoes into a bowl or a platter and spoon over the sauce or use your sauce as a dip on the side.
  • Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and enjoy!
