Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they have enough space for even cooking.
- Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and gently toss them with the sliced pickled jalapenos to evenly distribute the tangy flavor.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Tips
- For an extra kick, try adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the potato mixture.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of pickled jalapenos or substitute with roasted red peppers.
- These potatoes pair wonderfully with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese for added creaminess.
