Baked English potatoes with olive oil and seasonings is a simple yet delicious dish that can easily be added to any meal. It's a perfect side dish that highlights the natural flavors of the potatoes, enhanced with a touch of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Let's dive into the recipe to create this savory delight.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. You can peel them if you prefer, but the skins add a nice texture.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized wedges or cubes to ensure they cook evenly. Aim for about 1 to 1.5 inch pieces.
- Place the potato pieces in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes.
- Add a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper. Toss the potatoes in the bowl to ensure they are evenly coated with the olive oil and seasonings.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure they bake evenly and get crispy.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake the potatoes for about 35-45 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You can check them by piercing with a fork; they should be soft inside.
- About halfway through the baking time (around 20 minutes), use a spatula to turn the potatoes over. This ensures they brown evenly on all sides.
- Once baked to perfection, remove the potatoes from the oven. Allow them to cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet.
- Serve the baked potatoes hot as a side dish or enjoy them as a snack. You can add a bit more salt and pepper to taste, or garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Tips:
- Choose potatoes that are similar in size for even cooking.
- You can add other seasonings like garlic powder, rosemary, or thyme for additional flavor.
- For a crispy exterior, leave the potatoes in the oven a bit longer or finish with a few minutes under the broiler.
- Toss the potatoes halfway through baking to ensure they cook evenly.
- Serve fresh out of the oven for the best texture and flavor.
By following this simple recipe, you’ll have perfectly baked English potatoes that are both crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This dish is versatile and can be paired with a variety of mains or enjoyed on its own. Happy cooking!
