That's what I usually do too, but wanted to try something different
and I wasn't disappointed. Those potatoes were great and I'll do it
again, for sure. I didn't have commercial harissa on hand, so I
looked up recipes and found out the basic chiles are the same as for
Chile Colorado. I had lots of chile paste in the freezer that I'd
made a few months ago, so I mocked it up and oh, yes - it was
delicious. Add a little honey to the harissa, I needed a little
sweetness so I added a dab of Simply Heinz catsup and that did it for
me. I'll use honey next time.
