This oven roasted potatoes recipe is sure to change your potato eating ways! The potatoes are crispy and garlicky and taste altogether amazing!
Potatoes are like the workhorse of the kitchen. Seriously is there anything they can’t do? You can bake them into bread rolls, cinnamon rolls, and biscuits. You add potatoes to soups and salads; you can eat them as appetizers, sides or as the main course. I’m not sure of anything that is as versatile as the potato. It’s a simple, humble, amazing little vegetable.
Of all the ways to enjoy the potato, my favorite would be oven roasted. I typically keep it simple and season my potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper before placing them in the oven. For whatever reason, I decided to live on the edge and toss my potatoes with hummus. I L-O-V-E hummus. I eat it every, single day. I eat it on toast, with crackers, in a sandwich and yes, with a spoon. And now I eat it with potatoes. This roasted potatoes recipe is incredibly delicious and only requires four ingredients! It doesn’t get better than that! I used red potatoes for this recipe, but feel free to use your favorite potato or whatever you have in your pantry. The one thing to remember is to cut your potatoes into even sized pieces; this will help ensure that all the chunks cook evenly. Toss your potatoes with hummus (I used a roasted garlic flavor), seasoning (I used a Greek seasoning blend), and a drizzle of olive oil. Roast these potatoes in the oven for just 35 minutes.
The hummus forms a crust during the roasting process that makes these potatoes nice and crisp. The garlic from the hummus intensifies when the heat hits it and the Greek seasoning blends in nicely. Grab them while they are hot because in a word, these potatoes are killer.

I haven’t tried this recipe, therefore I really have nothing of value to add.

I cannot believe you use expensive store bought hummus (to eat daily). Nothing is easier to make (and customize). A can of rinsed Garbanzo beans, a quarter cup each of Tahini and olive oil, with one lemon juice and two avocados with garlic and onion mixed for a minute in the food processor is my preferred recipe. Mixing with the potatoes and a heaping Tbsp of sesame seeds only makes it better (adding some blanched asparagus at the end for a full meal).
