Chile-Roasted Potatoes are simple to make, and have enough of a kick to spark Cinco de Mayo or any other dinner.

Let’s celebrate Cinco de Mayo by branching out from overdrinking, shall we?

Sure, we love our Vanilla Margarita, our Basil Margarita, our Hatch Chile Margarita, even our improbably delicious Kale Margarita

But yegads, a girl needs some actual food in her life, eh?

Bring on the spuds, and spike ‘em with just the right amount of chiles. We’re using Dutch yellow potatoes, which are from Idaho (so they are naturally superior), and the baby version because they cook very quickly and you use them skin and all. Dried de arbol chile peppers are 15,000-25,000 on the Scoville heat scale, so they’re similar to a fresh Serrano, heat-wise.

How to make Chile-Roasted Potatoes

1. Wash, dry and halve baby Dutch yellow potatoes. You don’t need to peel them because their skin is very tender.

2. Toss in a mixing bowl with oil, ground chile peppers, rosemary, salt and pepper.

How do we use Chile-Roasted Potatoes?

1. Use them as a side dish with virtually any dinner, especially roasted meats, poultry or fish.

2. Use them as a stuffing for a breakfast burrito (with scrambled eggs), or a lunch or dinner burrito (with pinto beans and cheese).

3. Use them alongside your scrambled or fried eggs for breakfast or brunch.

We can stand the heat, and we’re happy to be in the kitchen for Cinco de Mayo.

Great twist on roasted potatoes! Bill would probably freak out from the heat, but I could tone it down a bit!

Liz,
You are quite right. You can tone this one up or down, at your whim.
