Garlic and herb potato gems are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can complement any meal. These bite-sized potatoes are seasoned with a perfect blend of garlic and herbs, resulting in a flavorful and crispy treat that's sure to be a hit with the whole family.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by peeling the potatoes. Once peeled, cut them into even chunks for easier cooking.
2. Boil the Potatoes:
- Place the potato chunks into a large pot of cold, salted water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes, until they are just tender but not falling apart. Drain the potatoes well.
- After draining, return the potatoes to the pot or place them in a large mixing bowl. Mash the potatoes until smooth. Add the all-purpose flour, sugar, and dried oregano to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (about 400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop out small amounts of the potato mixture (about 1-2 tablespoons per gem) and gently shape them into small, bite-sized tater tot shapes. Place each gem onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don't touch each other.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the potato gems are golden brown and crispy. You may want to flip the gems halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning.
- Once baked to perfection, remove the potato gems from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a delicious side dish or snack.
Tips:
- For added flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on the potato gems before baking.
- You can also add a pinch of garlic powder and dried parsley to the flour mixture for an extra burst of flavor.
- For an even crispier texture, use a convection setting on your oven if available.
Garlic and herb potato gems are a simple yet tasty side dish that everyone will love. With just a few ingredients and minimal effort, you can create a mouthwatering treat that is perfect for any occasion. Enjoy these delightful potato gems with your favorite main dishes or as a standalone snack.
