Editors’ Observe: Nik Sharma’s new e book, The The Taste Equation: The Science of Nice Cooking Defined in Extra Than 100 Important Recipes, comes out in October 2020. You may pre-order it anywhere books are sold.
This can be a riff on Kenji’s excellent recipe for roasted potatoes, with a couple of taste accents that I feel go very effectively with my curry leaf and mustard oil mayonnaise, which I developed for my e book, The Flavor Equation (my mayonnaise recipe works with both extra-virgin olive oil or mustard oil which have been debittered utilizing my hot-water method, however I like to recommend utilizing mustard oil right here). For the potatoes, as a substitute of utilizing a flavored oil as Kenji does in his recipe, I go for extra-virgin olive oil and toss the cooked potatoes with a savory and aromatic mixture of garlic and onion powders, floor sumac, and somewhat chile powder for a small, spicy kick.
