Potatoes, faithful companions of roasts and stews, are today transformed into an elegant and delicious version.
Although the process is simple, the final result is presented with a beauty and flavor that will make everyone want to repeat it.
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/8 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon parsley freshly chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
- Start of the Process: Turn on the oven at 190°C and take advantage of that time to carefully wash and dry the potatoes. Good cleaning is essential, since we are going to maintain your skin.
- Strategic Cuts: Making thin, equidistant cuts in the potatoes, but without reaching the end, allows them to cook evenly. In addition, these cuts are key so that they are well impregnated with the butter and paprika.
- Protagonist Mixture: In a bowl, combine the melted butter with the paprika. This step seems simple, but it is responsible for giving that unique and gourmet touch to our potatoes.
- Painting Flavor: With a brush, bathe the potatoes with our butter and paprika mixture, making sure it reaches each of those cuts.
- Baked: Once placed on a roasting pan, the potatoes should be baked until they achieve that double texture: tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, about 45 minutes.
- Final Touch: When removing them, spread the fresh chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. The green contrast of the parsley gives it an attractive visual touch.
Whether as a garnish for a juicy steak or as the protagonist of a light dinner, these golden potatoes promise to elevate your menu. The combination of smoked paprika with the freshness of parsley creates a symphony of flavors in every bite. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
