Ingredients

  • 6 (2 pounds) yellow flesh potatoes
  • 2 cups water, have more handy
  • ¼ cup of avocado oil, or oil of choice
  • 2 tsp. Grace Hot Jerk Seasoning
  • ½ tsp. Grace Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 3 Tbsp. fresh thyme leaves, reserve half

Instructions

Parboil the potatoes

  1. Using an Instant pot, add the steaming trivet, and add enough water until it reaches the top of the trivet. Add the potatoes on top of the trivet. Close the lid and make sure the lid is on "sealing". Press the “steam button” and manually change the timer to 7 minutes. When the timer is up, turn the knob to "venting" and do a quick release. Open the lid and remove the potatoes. Cut into 1 inch pieces. Alternatively, boil the potatoes in a pot until they are soft on the outside and still slightly undercooked on the inside.

Roast the potatoes

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, add oil, Grace Hot Jerk Seasoning, Grace Ground Black Pepper, salt, and half of the thyme leaves. Mix.

  3. Toss the potatoes in the bowl and mix until they are fully coated. Spread the potatoes evenly on a sheet pan.

  4. Cook the potatoes for 45 mins. At the 25 minute mark, toss in the remaining thyme leaves and flip the potatoes.

  5. Remove the potatoes from the oven and serve.

Recipe Notes

For a milder spice, add 1 tsp. of Grace jerk seasoning to the potatoes.
