Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 1 pound new potatoes halved
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • salt

Dip

  • 3/4 cup pepitas hulled, plus more for garnish
  • 1 cup cilantro packed
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled
  • 2 large jalapenos seeded
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise your fave
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F. Place the halved potatoes on a sheet pan and drizzle with oil. Sprinkle on the spiced and a big pinch of salt. Toss to coat and roast for about 20 minutes, until tender when pierced with a paring knife. Take out and keep warm.
  • For dip, toast the pumpkinseeds in a small skillet. Place over medium-high heat and swirl until the seeds start to toast and pop. Dump into the food processor and let cool. Add the cilantro, garlic and jalapenos and process until finely ground. Scrape down and process again to make a paste. Add the cream cheese, mayo and salt and process to mix. Scrape out into a bowl. Makes about a cup.
