Ingredients
Potatoes
- 1 ½ lbs potatoes (around 5 medium potatoes)
Seasoning Mix
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Toppings
- ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- ⅓ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Peel the potatoes if desired, then chop them into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 180 degrees C (350 degrees F) to get it ready for baking the potatoes.
- Mix seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the melted vegan butter, paprika, and minced garlic. Add the chopped potato pieces and toss thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly in the mixture.
- Season and arrange: Generously season the coated potatoes with salt and black pepper. Transfer them to a large skillet, spreading them out in a single layer without overcrowding to ensure crispiness.
- Bake the potatoes: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy and golden on the outside.
- Add final toppings and serve: Remove the skillet from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped cilantro evenly over the potatoes. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Peeling the potatoes is optional; leaving the skin on adds extra texture and nutrients.
- Use a large enough skillet to avoid overcrowding the potatoes, which helps achieve the best crispiness.
- Vegan butter is recommended to keep the dish vegan; regular butter can be used for a non-vegan version.
- Feel free to substitute Parmesan with a vegan cheese alternative to keep it strictly vegan.
- This recipe pairs well with eggs, avocado, or your favorite brunch sides.
