Whole coriander seeds are crushed and tossed in olive oil with peeled potato pieces. Add some salt and pepper, roast the potatoes and done. I tossed the finished potatoes with fresh cilantro for extra flavor and color but that step is optional.
I realize not everyone has coriander seeds hanging out in their pantry. They can be expensive. I used McCormick organic ones at $7 a jar. Walmart has a non-organic version for a much more reasonable price.
The flavor on these is out of this world. The coriander seeds have a sweet citrus flavor. Roasting them with the potatoes brings out the flavor even more. I love when simple has a complex taste.
This is a great side for any poultry or meat dish. You can also serve it with a large salad for a lighter meal.
