Ingredients

Equipment

• Large mixing bowl
• Baking sheet or roasting pan
• Sharp knife and cutting board
• Measuring spoons and cups
• Large skillet or saucepan
• Wooden spoon or spatula
• Colander (for washing potatoes)
• Oven or stovetop

Instructions

1. Prepare your potatoes: Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. If you prefer peeled potatoes, peel them now. Cut them into even-sized cubes or wedges to ensure they cook evenly.
2. Season the potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato pieces with olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, rosemary, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated. This seasoning mix will infuse the potatoes with a beautiful aroma and flavor.
3. Choose your cooking method: For roasting, spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. For stovetop cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil.
4. Roast or sauté: If roasting, bake at 425°F (220°C) for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and crispy. If sautéing, cook the potatoes in the skillet for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned. For an extra tender texture, add 1 cup of vegetable broth halfway through cooking and let it simmer until the liquid evaporates.
5. Add onions (optional): If using onion, add the diced onion to the skillet or baking sheet about halfway through cooking to soften and caramelize alongside the potatoes.
6. Final touches: Once the potatoes are cooked to your liking, remove them from heat. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a burst of color and flavor.
7. Serve and enjoy! These potatoes are perfect on their own or as a side dish to your favorite vegan meals.

Tips & Variations

“For extra crispy potatoes, soak the cut pieces in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch. Make sure to dry them thoroughly before seasoning.”

• Try using different herbs like thyme, oregano, or dill to switch up the flavor profile.
• For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the seasoning mix.
• Mix in diced bell peppers or mushrooms during the last 10 minutes of cooking for extra veggies.
• Make a hearty potato stew by simmering potatoes with carrots, celery, and your favorite beans in vegetable broth.
• Use sweet potatoes or purple potatoes for a colorful twist and slightly different taste.
• Pair these potatoes with a creamy vegan sauce or dip for a restaurant-quality touch.
