Okay, moms, let's be honest: we're already cooking dinner most nights. Why not make that work *for* you? This recipe for spicy roasted potatoes with tahini dressing is a game-changer – seriously delicious, surprisingly easy, and perfect for that ‘I need something quick and easy’ moment. And the best part? It’s ridiculously simple to double (or even triple!) for extra income.

This isn't some fussy restaurant recipe, either. It's the kind of thing you can whip up on a Tuesday night, and it feels special enough for a small dinner party. Imagine: you're making dinner for your family, and with just a little extra effort, you're also creating a delicious meal for another mom across town who's too tired to cook. That’s what this is all about!

Chef Nick nails it – these are potatoes that everyone will love, even the dog! Let's break down how to make them, with a focus on the doubling-for-profit strategy.

Ingredients for a Double Batch (Serves 8-10)

• 2 lbs Russet Potatoes (or any potato you like – grocery store brand is just fine!)
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 tsp Red Chili Flakes
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/2 cup Tahini
• 2 tbsp Rice Vinegar
• 1/4 cup Water (or more, to adjust consistency)
• 1/2 bunch Cilantro, chopped
• 1/2 bunch Parsley, chopped
• Optional: Pepperonchini or other spicy pickled veggies

Instructions

1. Prep the Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into large, chunky pieces – about 1-inch chunks. Don't worry about perfection!
2. Season: In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, black pepper, red chili flakes, garlic powder, and salt. Make sure they’re evenly coated.
3. Roast: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet (or two sheets for a double batch). Roast in a 475°F oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Keep an eye on them – 475°F is hot!
4. Make the Tahini Dressing: While the potatoes are roasting, whisk together the tahini, rice vinegar, and water in a small bowl. Adjust the water to reach your desired consistency.
5. Assemble: Once the potatoes are deeply golden and crispy, remove them from the oven. Plate them up and generously drizzle with the tahini dressing. Garnish with fresh cilantro and parsley. Add pepperonchini if you're feeling fancy.

Tips for Success (and Extra Income!)

• Double (or Triple!) the Recipe: Seriously, this is where the money is! Doubling the recipe doesn’t significantly increase the cooking time.
• Presentation Matters: A little extra garnish goes a long way. Fresh herbs and a sprinkle of spicy pickled veggies elevate the dish.
• Hot Delivery is Key: Use CrownRunner to deliver these potatoes hot and fresh to your neighbors.
• Price it Right: A double batch (serving 8-10) should easily earn you $20-$50, depending on your area.
