Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use another type of potato instead of baby potatoes?
A: Yes, you can use other types of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
Q: What can I substitute for turmeric if I don’t have it on hand?
A: If you don’t have turmeric, you can use curry powder or simply omit it. While turmeric adds a distinct earthy flavor and golden color, the dish will still be delicious without it.
Q: Can I make the coconut chimichurri ahead of time?
A: Yes, the coconut chimichurri can be made up to 2 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Allow it to come to room temperature and stir before drizzling it over the potatoes.
Q: How do I store and reheat leftover potatoes?
A: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread them on a baking sheet and warm in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 10-15 minutes to restore their crispiness, or lightly sauté them in a skillet.
Q: Can I make this dish less spicy?
A: Absolutely! Omit the cayenne pepper and chili flakes if you prefer a milder flavor. You can also reduce the amount of smoked paprika, as it has a slight spiciness.
Q: Is there a way to make this recipe vegan or refined sugar-free?
A: The recipe is already vegan if you use maple syrup instead of honey in the coconut chimichurri. It’s also naturally refined sugar-free when using either sweetener option.
Q: What can I serve alongside this dish?
A: These crispy potatoes pair wonderfully with grilled protein like chicken, fish, or tofu. You can also serve them as part of a larger spread with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables.
