BASQUE STYLE POTATOES

Spicy potatoes. You can do these in the oven if you like, but I find the stovetop to be easier when I have a limited amount of time and/or energy. When I'm feeling especially lazy, I sub out a premixed creole seasoning for the seasonings. Always add the fresh garlic though.

Tips for Making Basque Potatoes###

  • Use the right potatoes. Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, are the best choice for Basque potatoes. They hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too small, they will overcook and become mushy. If they are too large, they will take longer to cook and may not be cooked through.
  • Soak the potatoes in water before cooking. This will help to remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. A cast iron skillet will help to create a crispy crust on the potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes over medium-high heat. This will help them to brown quickly and evenly.
  • Stir the potatoes occasionally. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the skillet and burning.
  • Add the paprika and garlic near the end of cooking. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately. They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.
