Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil roughly chopped potatoes in salted water until just fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.

  2. 2

    Let steam dry for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Toss potatoes, red onion, and scallion whites with jerk marinade and oil. Spread on a baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Roast at 425°F for 15–20 minutes, flipping once, until edges are caramelized.

  5. 5

    In the last 2 minutes of roasting, scatter peas and scallion greens over the tray and return to oven until warmed through.

  6. 6

    Roughly crush with a fork — keep chunky, not smooth. Adjust salt.

  7. 7

    Warm roti shells one at a time in a dry pan over medium heat, 30 seconds per side.

  8. 8

    Lay flat, spoon filling across the lower third — a thin even layer. Fold sides in, then roll forward tightly. Serve immediately seam-side down.
