Potatoes are the most common side dish. Boiled potatoes fried potatoes, french fries, country-style potatoes. Fries and in a country style are cooked less often, because fussing with them, as many believe more, and fries are not useful.
Oh, also mashed potatoes, they are also a very frequent guest.
As a result, the potatoes become boring so that only the mention of them causes soreness.
So for all the "potato sufferers" who can no longer see this glorious nourishing tuber, I have a new recipe.
Rather, the recipe is old, and there is absolutely nothing complicated about it, but... For some reason, many people simply forget this cooking method. Although there is no fuss with such a dish.
The potatoes are spicy, crispy, tender on the inside. You can add oiliness - or you can reduce it, here it is for your taste.
So, we take:
- Potatoes - derived quantity
- Garlic - derived quantity
- Olive oil (you can take vegetable oil) - at least a couple of spoons per kilogram of potatoes
- Salt, herbs - to taste
How we cook:
We turn on the oven to preheat to 200 degrees.
While it is warming up with us, peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes or wedges. If the cubes are a side no more than 2 centimeters, the slices are no more than one and a half centimeters thick in the widest section (not in length, but in width).
Then we have two options. For advanced ones - take oil in a spray, sprinkle on a leaf, put potatoes on it, salt, season, sprinkle with oil again from the spray.
For retrogrades like me - put potatoes in a tight bag or in a bowl, pour over with a small amount, add salt and seasonings, mix everything very well, put on a sheet covered with oiled parchment.
Then we send it to the preheated oven.
At 200 degrees, the potatoes will cook for 45-50 minutes, it will need to be mixed very carefully once, if the top does not brown well.
If the temperature is lower, add about ten minutes of cooking time for every minus ten degrees. But there is no point in cooking it below 175-180 degrees.
