From EatingWell:  September/October 2009

Roasted potatoes get a spicy, smoky flavor when tossed with ground chipotle peppers. If you like potato skins, just scrub the potatoes and leave the skins on—they add fiber and great texture.

4 servings, about 1 cup each | Active Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, scrubbed (peeled, if desired), and cut into 1-inch wedges or pieces
• 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil or canola oil
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper (see Note), or 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Preparation

1. Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 450°F.
2. Combine oil, paprika, salt, garlic powder and ground chipotle (or chili powder) in a large bowl. Add potatoes; toss to coat with the seasoning mixture.
3. Spread the potatoes evenly on a rimmed baking sheet.
4. Roast, stirring once or twice, until the potatoes are tender and browned, 25 to 35 minutes.
