These Roasted Spanish Potatoes with Saffron Garlic Mayonnaise are an absolute stunner. Loaded with so many great flavors, easy to make and done in about 30 minutes. You can serve these potatoes as a tapas appetizer or as a side dish. Either way you go, you will fall in love with these amazing potatoes.
For this recipe I used yukon gold potatoes, but you can use any type of potatoes that you like. From russet potatoes, to red potatoes to new potatoes and beyond. I just love to use yukon gold potatoes, because they have that incredible melt-in-your-mouth texture to them.
For the saffron garlic mayonnaise I used a low-fat mayonnaise, but you can use full fat or even fat free if you prefer. I also used saffron threads from Golden saffron. Very important to use a high-quality saffron to make this mayonnaise. Do not use imitation saffron or any other substitute, as the saffron is what really flavors this mayonnaise.
If you love potatoes as much as I do, these Roasted Spanish Potatoes with Saffron Garlic Mayonnaise will become your new go-to potato dish. As stated before, you can serve these roasted potatoes as a tapas appetizer, but they also work really well as a side dish. Perfect for a summer time bbq, next to some grilled fish and a garden salad.

Ingredients
For the Potatoes
- 3 yukon gold potatoes
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- sea salt
- freshly cracked black pepper
For the Saffron Garlic Mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/4 tsp saffron threads
- 1/2 cup low fat mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- sea salt
- freshly cracked black pepper
Extras
- fresh chives
Instructions
-
Grab 3 cleaned yukon gold potatoes and cut them into 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) thick pieces, I like to cut my potatoes in half and each half in half to end up with 4 quarters, cut each quarter in half and chop the potatoes into 1/2 inch pieces, you should end up with 6 pieces from each quarter
-
Add the cut potatoes into a large bowl, drizzle in a generous tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, toss together until well combined, add the potatoes into a baking tray lined with parchment paper, make sure the potatoes are all in a single layer, add into a preheated oven, bake + broil option 250 C - 475 F
-
While the potatoes are roasting make the saffron garlic mayonnaise, roughly mince 2 cloves of garlic and add into a mortar, pinch in a 1/4 tsp of saffron threads into the mortar and using a pestle pound down on the garlic and saffron until you form a paste, then add 1/2 cup of low-fat mayonnaise (you can use full fat if you want), pour in 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, 1 tsp of fresh lemon juice and lightly season with sea salt & freshly cracked black pepper, mix together until well combined, cover with seran wrap and set aside at room temperature
-
After roasting the potatoes for 25 minutes, remove them from the oven, transfer the potatoes into a large bowl, pour in the saffron garlic mayonnaise over the potatoes and gently mix together until all the potatoes are coated with the mayonnaise, transfer to a shallow bowl and sprinkle with a generous portion of freshly chopped chives, enjoy!
