Sesame Seed Yogurt Baked Potatoes Recipes

BAKED SESAME POTATOES

• Rub with sesame oil then sprinkle generously with coarsely ground black pepper and salt.
• Bake on a baking sheet until tender, turning partway through (about 45 minutes).

MOROCCAN OVEN ROASTED SESAME POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F.
• Peel the potatoes if you like, but as long as they are well scrubbed, they give a nice earthy taste if you leave them on.
• Cut the potatoes into chunks about 1-inch large across.
• Place the chunks into a bowl and add harissa and toss until potatoes are evenly coated.
• Add olive oil and toss again.
• Sprinkle potatoes with salt and sesame seeds and toss one more time.
• Spread foil on a large baking sheet and oil lightly (foil helps with clean-up later).
• Place seasoned potato chunks on baking sheet in a single layer.
• Bake potatoes at 375F for 30 minutes, then using spatula, turn potatoes so that the other side can cook, and bake 15 minutes more or until potatoes are tender and deep golden.
• Squeeze lemon over potatoes before serving.
• Serve at once.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH YOGURT AND SESAME SEEDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450. Coat sweet potatoes with a very light drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Roast the potatoes, wrapped in foil, until totally tender. Switch oven to broil, remove potatoes from foil and blister under broiler until lightly charred. Cool to room temperature, and then cut in half or in 1/2-inch rounds. Set aside.
• Mix together yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and half the olive oil until smooth. Divide between 4 plates.
• Mix remaining lemon, olive oil and other ingredients into a salsa, and adjust seasoning with kosher salt.
• Warm sweet potatoes in oven, then plate each half (or an even number of rounds). Top with salsa and sprinkle with Maldon salt. A little additional oil is good, too.
