Crispy potatoes with tomato salsa
Preparation time:25 mins Cooking time:30 mins Serves:4-6 
Potatoes are the perfect partner to roast chicken, especially when they're good and crispy and topped with something as yummy as this tomato salsa.

Ingredients
11/2 kg chat potatoes
50g butter, finely chopped
2 tsps smoky paprika
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tsps finely grated lemon rind
1 tblsp chopped fresh thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 tblsps olive oil
Fresh thyme, to garnish
Roast chicken, to serve
TOMATO SALSA
3 ripe tomatoes, finely chopped
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
2 tsps brown sugar
Method
1 Place potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water. Bring to boil. Boil gently for about 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain. Place potatoes on a tray in a single layer. Stand until cool enough to handle.

2 Using a potato masher, gently press down on potatoes to slightly flatten. Place potatoes in a large bowl with butter, paprika, garlic, rind and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.

3 Divide oil between two large roasting pans. Heat in a very hot oven (240C) for about 5 minutes, or until hot. Carefully add potatoes. Turn to coat. Return pans to same very hot oven. Cook for 30 minutes, or until crisp and brown.

4 To make tomato salsa, combine tomatoes, onion and sugar in a medium bowl. Season.

5 Sprinkle tomato salsa over potatoes. Garnish with fresh thyme. Serve with roast chicken.

normal baking spuds will do....I think it's 1 & 1/2 kg....there sould be a measurement conversion online somewhere...and smoky paprika I assume can be bought...though regular paprika will do as well I think.

Anyway..this recipe always makes me hungry LOL huge spud fan over here...and that's really not good for the old waistline

Chel, it's like chipotles, except with bell peppers, not jalapenos.

Oh, how I love potatoes!!

sounds great! 

I do just about the same thing except I don't bother to boil the potatoes first, they bake just fine in a hot oven.
