Crispy Diced Potatoes Recipes

CRISPY ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a large baking pan.
• Place potatoes into a large bowl.
• Whisk oil, onion powder, garlic salt, pepper, and paprika together in a small bowl. Pour over potato cubes, hand-tossing to coat. Place potatoes into the prepared pan, spreading them so that they are evenly dispersed.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Stir. Continue to bake until potatoes are crispy brown and tender, 10 to 20 minutes.

CRISPY ROASTED POTATOES (3 WAYS!)

Steps:

• Dice the potatoes into 3/4-inch cubes. It's important that the potatoes are uniformly sized for even cooking. Add the potatoes to a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight).
• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet (or two medium baking sheets*) with parchment paper, or mist with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Drain the potatoes, rinse with cold water, then transfer to a dry bowl and blot the potatoes dry with a clean towel. Drizzle the potatoes evenly with olive oil, and toss until they are evenly coated.
• In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, garlic powder, black pepper and any additional dry seasonings (see below) until combined. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the bowl of potatoes, then toss until the potatoes are evenly coated and the cornstarch has soaked into the oil.
• Spread the potatoes out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Be sure that the potatoes are not overlapping, or else they will not cook evenly.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Then remove pan from oven, and flip the potatoes 180° with a spatula. Rearrange again so that the potatoes are evenly spaced and not overlapping. Then bake for 10-15 more minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and have begun to brown and caramelize a bit around the edges.
• Remove baking sheet from the oven, and sprinkle potatoes generously with your desired amount of salt. Transfer baking sheet to a cooling rack and let the potatoes cool for 3-5 minutes, to continue crisping up. Then serve immediately while still hot.

COCONUT DAAL WITH CRISPY POTATOES

Steps:

• For the potatoes: Place a large baking sheet in the oven and preheat it to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Place the potatoes into a large pot or Dutch oven and cover with cold water. Season with kosher salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Parboil until just fork tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Place the pot back over medium. Add the butter to melt. Stir in the spices and add in the potatoes; toss to coat. Season with kosher salt. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully add the potatoes to the sheet. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden and crisp, stirring halfway through.
• Meanwhile, for the daal: Wipe the pot you used for the potatoes out with a bit of paper towel. Return it to medium heat. Add the butter along with the onion, carrot, coriander seeds and mustard seeds and season with salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is golden and the carrot is slightly soft, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add the jalapeño, garlic and ginger and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant. Add the spices and lentils and allow them to toast for about 1 minute. Add 2 cups of water, the crushed tomatoes and coconut milk. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to low and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender, 18 to 22 minutes.
• When the potatoes are done and the lentils are tender, stir the kale and cilantro into the daal just to wilt and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the daal in bowls topped with the crispy potatoes, a lime wedge, a dollop of yogurt and a scattering of toasted coconut, sliced green onions and cilantro leaves.

CRISPY FINGERLING POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes into a large pot and cover them with water. Add a big pinch of salt, then cover, and put over high heat. Bring to a boil, uncover, and cook just until the potatoes start to soften but are not cooked all the way through, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the warm pot. Shake the potatoes around to roughen up the sides and to let them dry out. Put them into a bowl.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Put a baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
• Add the olive oil, grill seasoning, paprika and pepper, to taste, to the potatoes and toss to coat. Spread the potatoes out onto the preheated baking sheet and roast them until they are cooked through and crispy, about 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the potatoes once halfway through the cooking time. Remove the potatoes from the oven to a serving bowl and serve.
