I love roasted potatoes!! They look so hearty and delicious
These potatoes sound good.
I have achiote powder, not seeds. Can I make the oil with that or do I need the seeds?
Chris- Mix the powder with oil.
Thank you everyone for the comments!
My mom’s Puerto Rican and she makes something similar, but she uses olive oil, sweet onion, garlic, cumin, achiote, ground cilantro seed, turmeric, saffron, and sweet paprika.
