As promised I’ll share a couple of Christmas worthy recipes for the upcoming food focused days. I’ve already given you a nice mousse for a starter, a dessert and now I’m posting a side dish. Nice, easy and very good looking.
Ingredients for 4 pers.:
- 4 nice potatoes
- 1 garlic clove
- fresh thyme
- fresh parsley
- fresh rosemary
- powdered paprika
- sea salt
- olive oil
How to prepare it:
Heat up your oven to 200 degrees.
Start with prepping the olive oil, put approx. 100 ml olive oil in a small bowl and squeeze the garlic into the oil. Put this aside for now so that the garlic can dissolve into the oil.
Wash the potatoes and dry them carefully. Make cuts across the width of each potato, 1 to 2mm apart, all the way along. Slice about half of the way into the flesh. Put them in an open bowl.
Chop the herbs and sprinkle them on top of the potatoes and into the cuts you’ve made. Sprinkle the olive oil and garlic on top of the potatoes and finally add some paprika powder.
Put the potatoes into the oven for 30 – 40 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes. Open the oven every 10 minutes to soften them a bit with the oil. Take some oil from the bowl and sprinkle that on top of the potatoes again.
TIP:
As a contrast to the taste it’s nice to add a fresh and light crème fraiche spread. Chop a bit of fresh parsley and mix that with all the other ingredients for the sauce. Serve by putting a potato on all plates and add a bit of the spread on top whilst they are still warm.
Ingredients for the sauce:
- 2 table spoons crème fraîche
- 1 table spoon of Greek yogurt
- Juice of ½ lemon
- fresh parsley
- salt and pepper
