Jump to:
These Chinese five spice potatoes are packed with a garlicky, savory flavors thanks to the garlic powder, Chinese five-spice powder and salt. They're easily made with very simple ingredients and that's why I love this potato recipe.
So what's Chinese five-spice powder? It's a ground mixture of star anise, cinnamon, sichuan peppercorns and cloves. It's commonly used in Asian cuisine and in Chinese cuisine, it's used often on our proteins. But it pairs so well with the average spud, especially when roasted in the oven.
These potatoes are a great side dish or snack that you can enjoy with some Japanese mayo. It's so tasty and satisfying. The best part is that it's such a simple recipe with big flavors!
