Peri Peri Baby Potatoes

These baby potatoes are roasted until golden and crispy on the outside, then tossed in a homemade peri peri rub that I make in-house. The rub is spicy, vibrant, and has a warmth that builds as you eat. It is not the bottled peri peri you find at the grocery store. It is made from scratch with dried chilies, smoked paprika, garlic, and citrus zest.

The potatoes themselves are the star. Small enough that every bite has crispy surface area, cooked long enough that the insides are fluffy and creamy. The peri peri rub clings to the hot skin and creates a crust of flavour that makes these impossible to stop eating.

They work as a snack, a side, or the thing you put in the middle of the table that everyone quietly finishes before the main course arrives. A vibrant vegetarian option that does not apologise for being vegetarian.
