The craggy surface of these crispy smashed potatoes catches every drop of the spicy-sweet harissa vinaigrette.

Ingredients

1-1/2 pounds small red potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
Minced fresh cilantro, for garnish
HARISSA VINAIGRETTE:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons harissa chili paste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 450°. Place potatoes in a large saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, until tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain.
Drizzle oil over the bottom of a 15x10x1-in. baking pan; arrange potatoes over oil. Using the bottom of a glass or a potato masher, flatten potatoes to 1/2-in. thickness.
In a small bowl, whisk together the harissa vinaigrette ingredients; spoon over potatoes.
Roast until golden brown, 15-25 minutes. Sprinkle with feta cheese and cilantro before serving.
