Ingredients
For the Potatoes
- 2 lbs russet potatoes, cut into ½ inch chunks
- 1 ½ teaspoon salted butter or bacon grease, melted
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Spicy Tomato Sauce
- 1 teaspoon salted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne (more or less to determine the heat of your sauce)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon sugar
- ¾ c water
- 2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Instructions
For the Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 450F.
- Toss the potato chunks with 1 ½ teaspoon melted butter and ¼ teaspoon salt. Spread on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet and roast for 30-45 minutes, until the potatoes are crisp on the outside and tender within.
For the Spicy Tomato Sauce
- While the potatoes are roasting, heat 1 teaspoon butter in a small skillet. Add minced garlic and sauté over medium heat until golden, 1-2 min.
- Add tomato paste, paprika, cayenne, ¼ teaspoon salt, and sugar. Mix well and sauté 1-2 minutes to develop a nice deep flavor.
- Slowly add water, stirring as you add, to create a smooth sauce. Once the sauce is hot and smooth, remove it from the heat.
- Stir in vinegar. (The sauce should be thin and pour-able. If not, add a little more water to get it to a good consistency.)
- Serve crispy roasted potatoes drizzled with the warm sauce.
