Crush lightly
Roughly crush each potato with the back of a fork to rough up the surface for extra crispness.

Toss
Toss with olive oil, kalonji seeds, garlic and salt.

Roast
Spread on a baking tray and roast at 210°C (410°F) for 25 minutes, turning halfway, until crisp and golden.

Nitra tip
Kalonji seeds have a mild bitterness reminiscent of black pepper and oregano — they pair especially well with potatoes and roasted vegetables.
