Simply Roasted Potatoes
No bells or whistles here. Just crispy, salty, starchy goodness.
Preheat your oven to 425.
Depending on how small your potatoes are, halve or quarter them so they are all roughly the same size. Place potatoes in a glass casserole and coat them with a fine mist of non stick spray, a good sprinkling of coarse sea salt and black pepper. Toss to coat.
Bake for about 30-40 minutes or until they begin to crisp up and brown around the edges.
Then simply let them cool a bit and devour!
* We used a fingerling/gourmet assortment but feel free to use whatever your favorite tater is.
Papas Arrugadas
Papas Arrugadas, Canarian wrinkly potatoes.
I think of myself as a foodie most of the time, but I admit that I’ve become quite jaded with the concept of a celebrity chef restaurant. The general public is gladly lapping up the fame food craze,but I find myself wondering how a person who calls themselves a chef can appear in multiple television series, run several different food properties (often in different states) and still find the time to ever get dirty in a kitchen. When you add in the rampant trend jumping of middle-end dining, you can quickly become disappointed with almost any dining experience. When’s the last time you saw a menu without some kind of miso-glazed sea bass or a shaved fennel salad?
That being said, I’ve got to give credit to Jose Andres and his restaurant Jaleo for introducing me to Papas Arrugadas, an unexpectedly unique and simple side dish you should try today.
