Serves 4

Ingredients

Potatoes
2 pounds, cubed (yukon gold or russet)
Olive oil
3 tablespoons
Garlic
4 cloves, minced
Salt
1 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
Pickled jalapenos
1/2 cup, sliced
Fresh parsley
1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cubed potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they have enough space for even cooking.
  4. Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
  5. Remove the potatoes from the oven and gently toss them with the sliced pickled jalapenos to evenly distribute the tangy flavor.
  6. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. 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.
