🧂 Ingredients Needed

• russet potatoes - there are a number of potato varieties that work well for this recipe, but I like russet potatoes.
• roasted red pepper dressing - adds the perfect amount of savory and tangy flavor.
• olive oil - helps the potatoes take on a nice crispy exterior.
• spices - chipotle powder, salt, and black pepper are all you need for additional flavor!
• minced garlic - jarred minced garlic or garlic paste are both great options to cut down on prep time, but you could mince or grate fresh garlic cloves as well.
• onion - complements the smoky chipotle flavor.

❔ FAQs

💡 Expert Tips and Tricks

• Some grocery stores sell pre-cut potatoes, which can help cut down on prep time.
• Another shortcut is to buy frozen diced onions instead of dicing fresh onion.
• Use a fork to test your potatoes for tenderness as they cook.
• If you find your potatoes are browning too quickly, cover the dish with aluminum foil for the rest of the cooking time.
• You can also roast the potatoes spread out on a baking sheet or microwaved and then tossed in the dressing.

📝 Substitutions and Variations

• If you can't find roasted red pepper dressing, a sun dried tomato dressing or chipotle dressing is also a fine substitute.
• Feel free to use more or less seasonings depending on your taste. Taste the dressing before adding it to the potatoes and adjust as needed.
• Use smoked paprika instead of chipotle if you're not a fan of spicy food but still want that warm and smoky flavor.
• Add more flavor with herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano.
• Give your potatoes a cheesy finish by sprinkling with Parmesan cheese or some feta crumbles.
• Make your chipotle potatoes even healthier by adding more veggies like broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini, or carrots.

🥡 Storage and Reheating

Allow leftover chipotle roasted potatoes to cool, then transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for 4 to 5 days. You can also keep your potatoes in the freezer for 3 months or so.

Microwave to reheat, or bake them in the oven at 350 degrees until they're crispy again and heated through. I recommend allowing frozen leftovers to thaw before cooking.

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (or the grill to medium heat).
• Wash and cube potatoes and place in a large bowl (no need to peel).
  4-5 large russet potatoes
• In a medium bowl, combine dressing, olive oil, chipotle spice, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion. Pour over the potatoes and toss to coat.
  ½ cup roasted red pepper dressing, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon chipotle spice, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, 2 tablespoons minced garlic, 1 cup diced yellow onion
• Spray a large casserole dish with non-stick spray and pile the potatoes into the dish.

• Right before serving, sprinkle with chopped green onion for a colorful presentation.

Notes

• To save time, you can use pre-cut, refrigerated potato cubes available at grocery stores to save time on chopping.
• I like to use garlic paste or jarred minced garlic for easier prep.
• Buy frozen or fresh pre-diced onions as another time-saving shortcut.
• If you don’t have roasted red pepper dressing on hand, you can use sun-dried tomato dressing or even a chipotle dressing
• Test the potatoes with a fork for tenderness. If they are browning too quickly, cover the dish with foil to prevent burning while allowing them to cook through.
• Yukon gold or red potatoes can be used instead of russet, although they will yield a bit of a different texture and flavor.
• Adjust the chipotle spice to your taste. You can also mix in smoked paprika for a smoky flavor without extra heat.
• If desired, add your favorite herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or parsley for even more flavor.
• Sprinkle grated Parmesan or crumbled feta cheese over the potatoes for added richness.
• You can add other vegetables like diced bell peppers, zucchini, or carrots for additional color and flavor.
• Alternate cooking methods:
  • Spread the potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet for faster cooking and easier cleanup. This will also result in crispier potatoes.
  • Microwave the cubed potatoes for 5-7 minutes before tossing with the dressing mixture. This can reduce oven time and ensure the potatoes cook evenly.
