Young Potatoes in the Oven
4 servings
30 minutes
The ideal way to cook potatoes is not boiled, not fried, but baked, without the taste of burnt oil, but with hot paprika, an appetizing crust and a coating of melted butter in the oven . The main secret of the potato recipe is that, after boiling them first, you need to mash them slightly with a masher before baking, so that the potato pulp completely absorbs both the oil and spices.
1
Wash the potatoes well to remove dirt. If the dirt doesn't come off, soak the potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes and then rinse. Cover the clean potatoes with fresh water, bring to a boil, and cook for 10 minutes.
