Instructions
If you want to eat your potatoes with their skin on, then rinse and scrub them well. After that, cut into large chunks.
Bring up to a boil a large pot with 2 liters of water. Add salt and baking soda, then throw the potatoes in to cook.
After 15/20 minutes, pierce them to check if they're ready: if the knife meets some resistance (but not too much!) they're ready.
Drain and let them chill into the pot for a minute so the excess steam goes away.
Preheat oven to 220° C (430° F).
In the meantime heat 10 grams of extra virgin olive oil, throw in the garlic and chili powder and turn off the heat to avoid the garlic to burn. Set aside.
Repeat the process with oil + paprika and oil + dill.
Divide the potatoes into 3 parts and put them in 3 bowls.
Add the infused oil to each, then toss until a sort of mashed potato–like paste has built up on the outside.
Add mustard and honey to the oil + dill potatoes and toss again.
Spread out potatoes in a single layer on a baking tray and bake for approximately 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes turn the potatoes using a spatula, then bake for 25/30 minutes more until golden brown.
