Harissa, a spicy sauce popular in northern Africa, gives these potatoes a bit of a punch. I found Harissa with the ethnic items at Whole Foods, but you can also get it at African specialty markets or make your own with Harissa.

Ingredients

1 lb baking potato
1 1/2 teaspoons harissa
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1-2 tablespoon sesame seed
1/2-1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 375°F.
2
Peel potatoes and cut into large chunks. In small bowl, combine harissa, olive oil, salt, and sesame seeds.

What a great recipe-wonderful flavor w/ just a few ingredients! Only change I made was the method of cooking-I parboiled potatoes first, added seasonings, and kept in fridge until dinnertime. I then placed in foil pan and grilled outside on med- high heat for about 30 minutes. I served w/ Grilled Moroccan Chicken, Moroccan Vegetable Salad, Grilled Moroccan Vegetable Skewers for a fabulous Moroccan meal. Thank you for a great recipe!!!

I though DH wouldn't like the sesame, but we both fell in love with this one! Incredible flavor with so little effort. We'll definitely be cooking up this one again!
