Saffron Roasted Potatoes

The CC never thought that anything could give properly made french fries a run for their money.

If you find new potatoes, by all means use them!

Ingredients

new potatoes halved, or roasting potatoes cut into large cubes
tomatoes
saffron
salt & pepper

Recipe

First you need to dunk the tomatoes in boiling water, and pass them through a food mill to collect the pulp.

Heat some olive oil, and when hot, toss in the tomato pulp. Add salt, and lots of pepper. Let it reduce at a very low heat for at least 30-35 mins. If it thickens too much, you can always add water later.

Towards the end, toss is two large pinches of saffron, stir it, and take it off the heat.

Lay the potatoes in a baking sheet, pour the liquid all over it, and bake at 400°F for 30-40 minutes until the potatoes are lightly browned.
