This recipe transforms simple potatoes into a crispy, flavorful delight with a tantalizing crust that’s sure to please any palate. The combination of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and seasoning, baked to perfection, brings out a delightful texture and taste. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 900 g small potatoes
- Extra salt and fresh minced garlic to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 220°C (428°F) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
- Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. This mixture will be the flavor base for the potatoes.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Thoroughly wash the potatoes without peeling them, then cut them in half. This helps them cook evenly and absorb the seasoning better.
- Season the Potatoes: Place the potatoes on a baking tray. Pour the olive oil and vinegar mixture over them, ensuring they are well coated. Mix well so every piece is evenly seasoned.
- Arrange for Baking: Lay the potatoes cut side down on the tray. This positioning helps achieve that desired crispy crust.
- Bake: Cook the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes. Use a fork to check for softness. Stir the potatoes two or three times during baking to ensure they brown evenly and develop a nice, golden crust.
- Final Touch: After baking, add the remaining tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and mix. This adds a bright, acidic contrast to the rich, crispy potatoes. If you like, you can add more vinegar to taste.
- Season and Serve: Sprinkle with additional salt and, if desired, some fresh minced garlic for an extra flavor punch.
Your crispy crust potatoes are now ready to enjoy! Serve them hot as a delicious side dish that complements any meal, adding a crunchy texture and a burst of flavor that’s sure to satisfy. Bon appétit!
