“Pass the potatoes, please!” How many times have you heard that phrase? I heard it and said it, at Christmas dinners, Easter feasts, picnics, showers and even Sunday suppers.
Potatoes are a big part of my meals and celebrations. I can’t fathom a picnic without potato salad. Mashed potatoes always grace the Thanksgiving table.
So when I heard about a contest for creating a shareable family-style Idaho® potatoes dish, I had to enter! If you love potatoes as much as I do you should enter too!

I love roasted potatoes. It’s fun to experiment with different coatings and flavors. Toss cut potatoes with a little oil and seasonings and I’m all set for a great side dish.
For the 2015 family-style contest, I wanted something a bit different. Turmeric Lime Roasted Potatoes fit the bill.
Ingredients
- 4 large Idaho Potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces about 2 1/2 pounds
- 1 teaspoon coriander seed powder
- 4 cloves roasted garlic, smashed
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 2 Tablespoons fresh squeezed Lime juice
Instructions
- Whisk together lime juice, oil and spices in a large bowl.
- Add potato pieces, toss to coat.
- Spread as a single layer on a sheet pan.
- Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes turning occasionally. Roast until desired crispy outside is achieved, keeping inside tender.
- Serve.
