Georgian Garlic-Spiced Roasted Potatoes
At Dezerter Bazaar in Tbilisi, Luiza Panchulidze taught us to make Svanetian salt, a seasoning from the Svaneti region in mountainous northwestern Georgia. It is flavored with dried chilies, warm spices and ample garlic, and usually is paired with potatoes and/or meat. We toss our salt with potato wedges, then roast them until deeply browned. The recipe yields about ½ cup Svanetian salt, which is enough for a few batches of potatoes, but we also love it tossed with other roasted vegetables, as a seasoning for chicken and lamb, or even sprinkled onto a tomato salad. Store extra in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 weeks. Either Morton or Diamond Crystal kosher salt works in this recipe, but since Morton granules are denser, the seasoning blend made with it will pack in a little more salinity.

Servings
Don’t forget to turn the potatoes cut side down on the baking sheet so they make good contact with the metal for better browning. Also, allow the potatoes to roast at least 15 minutes before flipping; they will release more easily once they have formed a crust.
