Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 cups water
1 or 2 tablespoons good red wine vinegar
1 or 2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh ground pepper
1 medium onion chopped
1 chopped tomato
3 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
4 Idaho potatoes
1 chorizo (Portuguese sausage)
1 package dry Italian salad dressing mix (unprepared)
1/4 cup oil
1/3 cup vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend
1 whole roasting chicken (approximately 5 pounds)
Pinch paprika
Pinch Italian seasoning blend

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Pour water into a roasting pan. Add vinegar to taste. The water should have just a hint of vinegary taste. Sprinkle paprika over the water and mix, removing the lumps. Add salt, pepper, onion, tomato, parsley and potatoes. Before cooking add chorizo. Bake for 2 hours. Do not cover potatoes because they will steam and not roast. The potatoes will have a nice red color when they are done.
  • Note: Both recipes can be cooked simultaneously in the same oven.
  • (all measurements are approximate) .
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. This recipe is made in a ceramic cooker. To prepare the cooker, soak the cover for 15 minutes, and spray the bottom with any non-stick coating. Mix first 5 ingredients, set aside. Wash the chicken and pat it dry. Put chicken in cooker and pour salad dressing mixture on top, then use hands to rub it all over the chicken skin. Lightly sprinkle entire chicken with paprika (a pinch or so), then sprinkle a pinch or so of the dry Italian seasoning on top as well. Cover and cook at 375 degrees for 2 hours. About 1 to 1 1/2 hours into the cooking time, check the chicken. If there is liquid half-way up the chicken or more, drain all of the liquid so that the chicken is dry enough to roast, then continue cooking. If it's not halfway up the chicken, just leave whatever juices are in there and continue cooking.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For the best results, use a firm, waxy potato variety, such as Yukon Gold, Red Bliss, or fingerling potatoes. These potatoes will hold their shape well during roasting and won't become too soft or mushy.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: To ensure even cooking, cut the potatoes into uniform-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly throughout.
  • Season the potatoes well: Don't be afraid to be generous with the seasonings. Portuguese-style roast potatoes are typically seasoned with garlic, paprika, oregano, and salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices to your liking, such as thyme, rosemary, or chili powder.
  • Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: Roasting the potatoes at a high temperature will help them crisp up and brown on the outside while remaining tender on the inside. Aim for a temperature of 425°F (220°C) or higher.
  • Toss the potatoes during roasting: To ensure that the potatoes cook evenly, toss them once or twice during roasting. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan and will promote even browning.
  • Serve the potatoes hot: Portuguese-style roast potatoes are best served hot out of the oven. They can be enjoyed on their own as a side dish or paired with your favorite main course.

Conclusion:

Portuguese-style roast potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. With their crispy exterior and tender interior, these potatoes are sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a tasty and easy side dish, give this recipe a try!
