Spanish Potatoes

Crispy Spanish Potatoes with a Flavourful Kick

Sometimes the simplest ingredients make the most satisfying dishes. These Spanish-style potatoes are golden, crisp, and served with a rich, spiced tomato sauce that brings warmth and depth. They are perfect as a side dish, shared plate, or even a light snack when you want something wholesome with a little flair. You’re going to love the balance of crunch and spice in every bite.

Easy Steps to Golden Goodness

1. Wash and halve the potatoes, then boil until just tender. Drain and let them dry.

2. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a tray and bake for 25–30 minutes, turning once, until crisp and golden.

3. Blend the tomatoes, tomato purée, garlic, paprika, turmeric, cayenne, and some fresh herbs until smooth.

4. Warm olive oil in a pan, add the blended sauce, and cook for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

5. Serve the potatoes on a platter, spoon over the warm sauce, add a touch of mayonnaise, and finish with extra herbs.

A Nourishing Twist on a Classic

Potatoes provide natural energy and comfort, while paprika and turmeric add depth of flavour along with their traditional culinary uses. Turmeric, in particular, is a valued spice in many cultures for its vibrant colour and versatility in cooking. This dish shows how simple pantry staples can be transformed into something both nourishing and satisfying.
