Description

These crispy potatoes are the ultimate savory side dish, featuring tender russet potatoes transformed into golden, crunchy bites. Seasoned with aromatic Italian herbs, fresh basil, and a hint of paprika, they offer a robust flavor profile that pairs beautifully with simple meals or festive gatherings. The key is boiling them first for tenderness, then roasting until crisp. While the tags suggest a dessert, this is clearly a savory vegetable preparation ideal for lunch, dinner, or potlucks. Easy to prepare and satisfying to eat, these potatoes bring a rustic, home-cooked charm to any table.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400&# 194;°F (200°C).
  2. Peel the boiled russet potatoes and dice them into 1-inch cubes.
  3. Lightly spray an 8x11x2-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  4. Place the diced potatoes into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle the potatoes with chopped green onions, crushed basil (or Italian seasoning), and freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Gently toss the potatoes with a fork to distribute the seasonings evenly.
  7. Pour 1/2 cup of chicken-flavored vegetarian broth over the potatoes.
  8. Sprinkle generously with Hungarian paprika.
  9. Bake on the upper shelf of the oven for 15 minutes.
  10. Stir the potatoes and continue baking, stirring every 15 minutes, until nicely browned and crisp, about 45 minutes total.
  11. Switch the oven to broil and place the dish under the broiler for a few minutes to complete the browning, watching closely to prevent burning.
  12. Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped Italian parsley or fresh basil before serving.

Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.

Variation: For added savory depth, mix 3 tablespoons of mild soy sauce with 1/4 cup water in a spray bottle. After stirring in step 7, spray the potatoes and stir. Repeat this spray-and-stir process every 15 minutes during baking. Note that this will increase the sodium content.

Serving: These potatoes are easy to prepare and lend themselves nicely to outdoor entertaining or large parties.
