Why This Meal Is A Winner
These potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender inside, with a bright burst of citrus that lifts the flavors. The fresh herbs add an earthy aroma that makes every bite comforting and fresh. It’s a simple side that feels special and pairs well with many meals.
Directions
Warm your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In a food processor, blend together the orange juice, olive oil, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, oregano, salt, pepper, cumin, and turmeric until you get a thick, flavorful sauce. Toss the potatoes in the baking dish with the sauce, making sure they're well coated. Cover the dish and pop it in the oven for about 40 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for another 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and nicely roasted. Finish by sprinkling fresh thyme on top before serving.

Great Ways To Serve
Serve alongside grilled chicken or fish for a light, balanced meal. They also work well with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables. A dollop of garlic aioli or a sprinkle of Parmesan can add an extra layer of flavor.
Freezing Tips
Store leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or a skillet to keep them crispy rather than using a microwave, which can make them soggy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular potatoes instead of fingerling potatoes?
