Happy National Sunday Supper Day! As you may or may not have heard, January is National Sunday Supper Month, but also the second Sunday of January is officially National Sunday Supper Day. It is truly an auspicious milestone for this group that I have been involved with since 2012. The mission of #SundaySupper is simple – bringing Sunday Supper back around the family table. It’s about connecting, unplugging, eating good food, and so much more. If that sounds good to you, pop over to the website and take the pledge to make a difference for you and your household.
How are we celebrating? With Idaho® Potatoes! Last summer, Idaho® Potatoes hosted a Poutine lunch at the Food Wine Conference. It was one of the best and most indulgent lunches I’ve had in a while. Idaho® Potatoes is back by hosting today’s event and is continuing to show their adoration for the humble poutine. The hitch? No French fries! No problem!
Having grown up near the Canadian border, poutine was not unfamiliar to me. Cheese curds are the standard cheese for poutine, but the farther you get from the border, the curds are more difficult to find and usually get replaced by any variety of melty cheese. During college, late nights always included a plate of gravy fries, an American variation on the dish. Even New Jersey has their own version called Disco Fries using mozzarella for the cheese.
I’ve created a couple of Korean-inspired poutine recipes in the past, as well as a dessert version. Today’s recipe is inspired by the Indian samosa – a traditional potato-filled pastry. If you have access to cheese curds, please use them. I’ve included queso fresco here which I felt was a comparable substitute.
Indian Spiced Roasted Potatoes with Green Chutney #SundaySupper #FWCon
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Dutch Yellow Baby Idaho® Potatoes quartered
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Ground black pepper
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 3 cups fresh cilantro roughly chopped
- 1 hot green chili pepper Serrano, coarsely chopped
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- Juice of ½ lemon About 2 tablespoons
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6-8 oz. cheese curds or queso fresco cubed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- In a small bowl, blend together the garlic, ginger, salt, coriander, garam masala, cumin, cayenne pepper, lemon zest, and a few grinds of freshly ground pepper.
- In a large bowl, toss together the quartered Idaho® Potatoes with the spices and olive oil. Toss until the potatoes are coated.
- On a parchment-lined sheet pan, distribute the potatoes evenly on the pan. Roast for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown, giving a stir midway after about 20 minutes.
- While the potatoes are roasting, make the green chutney. In a blender or food processor, add the cilantro, chili pepper, salt, lemon juice, cumin, and olive oil. Pulse until pureed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as you are pulsing the mixture. Add more olive oil if you'd like the sauce to be more fluid.
- When the potatoes are done, place them into a medium-sized baking dish. Distribute the cubed cheese evenly on top. Turn the broiler to high. Place the baking dish under the broiler for about 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Spoon or drizzle the chutney on top. Serve hot.
