Instructions
Preheat an oven to 180°C.
Peel and wash the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized small bite-sized pieces. Also, cut the red bell pepper into bite-size pieces.
Place the potatoes and the bell pepper on a baking tray and pour over 2 tablespoons of the oil and season well with salt and pepper. Sprinkle over the sweet paprika and the smoked paprika. Using your hands or a spoon, toss the potatoes and pepper in the oil and spices to evenly coat them all over.
Place them in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, turning halfway. The potatoes should be golden all over and the pepper should be fully soft and the skin should be blackened in places.
5 minutes before the potatoes are ready, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot add the minced garlic and gentle sauté for 1 minute watching not to burn the garlic. Turn off the heat and add the lemon juice, Aleppo pepper flakes and half the chopped coriander. Mix everything together.
Once the potatoes are ready place them in the pan with the garlic and stir well to coat in the garlic and pepper flakes.
Taste for seasoning then serve, garnished with the remaining coriander.
