Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and slice them into halves (or quarters if the potatoes are large) to ensure even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until just fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and set aside.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the boiled potatoes to the hot skillet in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 5 minutes, allowing the sides to become golden and crispy.
Stir the potatoes gently and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, ensuring they crisp evenly.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss the potatoes to coat them evenly with the spices.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to infuse into the potatoes.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the potatoes with fresh lemon juice.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy your Spicy Pan Potatoes as a standalone dish or as a side to your favorite meal!
