01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 450°F. In a large bowl, mix the oil and curry paste until well combined. Add the potatoes and give them a good toss so they’re nicely coated with the curry mixture. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and roast them for about 15 minutes, or until they’re golden and tender.

Step 2
While the potatoes are roasting, whisk together the lime juice, sugar, and fish sauce in a small bowl to make the sauce.

Step 3
Lay out the lettuce leaves on a serving platter, then divide the carrots, cilantro, green onions, and mint evenly among them. Once the potatoes are done, spoon them into the lettuce cups. Serve everything with the sauce on the side so everyone can add as much as they like.
