Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 200 grams extra firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by rinsing and scrubbing the potatoes clean, leaving the skin on for extra fiber and nutrients.
Dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes and soak them in a bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes to remove excess starch and help them crisp up better when cooked.
While the potatoes soak, drain the tofu, wrap it in a clean kitchen towel, and press gently to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into small cubes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a towel to remove excess water.
Add the potatoes to the skillet and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to become golden brown and crispy.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, then add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
Add the tofu to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu starts to brown.
Season with black pepper, salt, paprika, and coriander powder, and stir well to combine all ingredients.
Continue to cook for another 5 minutes until everything is heated through and well-seasoned.
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot as a hearty side dish or enjoy it alone as a protein-rich meal.
