Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into medium-sized chunks.
- Place the potato chunks in a large baking dish.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle with a dash of salt for flavor.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender. Toss them halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
- Stir in the spice mix and cook for another minute to release the flavors.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and stir well. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they are heated through.
- Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook until the spinach is just wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are roasted, remove them from the oven and transfer them to the skillet with the Tuscan butter sauce.
- Toss the potatoes in the sauce until they are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the finely chopped fresh parsley over the top of the potatoes.
- Serve immediately while hot, ensuring each serving has a bit of the flavorful sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach.
Tips:
- Choosing Potatoes: Select potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes. Yukon Gold or red potatoes work particularly well for this dish.
- Uniform Slicing: For even cooking, slice the potatoes into uniform pieces. This ensures that all pieces are cooked through simultaneously.
- Pre-cooking Potatoes: Parboil the potato slices for 5-7 minutes before sautéing to speed up the cooking process and achieve a tender interior.
- Seasoning: Feel free to adjust the spice mix to suit your taste. Some popular additions include paprika, oregano, or thyme.
- Garlic Preparation: Crush or finely mince the garlic cloves to release their full flavor and ensure they blend seamlessly into the dish.
- Final Toss: Always add the fresh parsley at the end of the cooking to maintain its vibrant color and fresh flavor.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve the Tuscan butter potatoes hot, garnished with extra parsley or grated Parmesan cheese for an added touch of flavor.
Tuscan butter potatoes are the perfect blend of flavors and textures, making them a versatile side dish that can complement a variety of main courses. The rich buttery coating, combined with the freshness of parsley and the depth of sun-dried tomatoes, creates a dish that’s both comforting and sophisticated. Enjoy these delicious potatoes with your favorite proteins or as a standalone snack. Bon appétit!
