Categories     Potato

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 large potatoes, quartered
3 garlic cloves, whole
olive oil
1/2 of a lemon, juiced
4 stalks green onions, chopped finely
4 stalks parsley, chopped finely
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and black pepper
1/2 cup water, saved from boiled potatoes

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes with the garlic in salted water until tender. Drain the potatoes, reserving a half cup of the water.
  • In a deep pot, heat some oil then add the green onion, parsley, spices, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of the water. Saute just until the green onions are tender.
  • Toss in the cooked potatoes and mix until well combined, adding more water if required and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Select waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, as they hold their shape well during the boiling and roasting process.
  • Boil the Potatoes First: Boiling the potatoes before roasting helps them achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior. Make sure to drain them thoroughly before proceeding to the next step.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Garlic powder, paprika, and oregano are classic Portuguese potato seasonings, but feel free to add your own favorites as well.
  • Roast at a High Temperature: Roasting the potatoes at a high temperature (around 425°F) ensures that they get crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  • Serve Immediately: Portuguese potatoes are best served hot and fresh out of the oven. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro for an extra touch of flavor.

Conclusion:

Portuguese potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. With a crispy exterior, tender interior, and flavorful seasoning, these potatoes are sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
