Chili Roasted Potatoes

 

1 pound small new potatoes, scrubbed

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon basil

 

Cook potatoes in a saucepan of boiling water for 10

minutes, then

drain thoroughly.

 

Pour a little of the oil into a shallow roasting pan

to coat the

base. Heat the oil in a preheated oven at 400 for 10

minutes. Add the

potatoes to the pan and brush them with the hot oil.

 

In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, red

pepper flakes, and

salt. Sprinkle the mixture over the potatoes, turning

to coat them

evenly.

 

Add the remaining oil to the pan and roast the

potatoes in the oven

for about 15 minutes, or until potatoes are cooked

through.

 

Remove from oven and drain on paper towels.

 

Sprinkle with the basil and serve immediately.
