Deci nu imi vine sa cred ca abia acum, la 33 de ani, am descoperit reteta asta de cartofi crocanti cu malai la cuptor. I’ve been living in a lie all my life :)) Sunt atat de gustosi, mega crocanti la exterior si moi inauntru, ca juri ca sunt prajiti! Noi i-am pus pe o lipie cu friptura la slow cooker, salata verde, ceapa, maioneza si ketchup si, OMFG, am mancat de-am rupt :D Yummmmmy!
Ingrediente (4 portii):
- 500g cartofi
- 3 lg ulei de masline
- 3 lg malai
- 1 lgt pudra de usturoi
- 1 lgt boia dulce
- 1/2 lgt sare
- 1/4 lgt piper
Decojim cartofii si ii taiem bucati potrivite, eu nu i-am taiat chiar in sfeturi, ci o marime intre wedges si cartofii prajiti, ca in imagine :) Amestecam condimentele intr-un bol: usturoiul, sarea, piperul, boiaua si malaiul.
Adaugam cartofii, uleiul de masline si mozolim biiiine totul, pana cartofii sunt complet acoperiti de toppingul crocant.
Ii asezam pe o tava si ii coacem in cuptorul preincalzit la 200C timp de 35-40 de min, cu ventilatia pornita, pana se rumenesc frumos, in functie de dimensiunea bucatilor. Enjoy! :)
ENGLISH VERSION
I can’t believe I discovered these crispy potato wedges only now, at 33. I feel like I’ve been living in a lie all my life :)) They are soooo crispy, tender inside and delicious, they seem just like deep fried ones. We added them to a tortilla with warm steak, lettuce, onion, mayonnaise and ketchup and, boy, did we eat it all! :D Yummmmmy!
Ingredients (4 servings):
- 500 g potatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp cornmeal
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Peel the potatoes and cut them into medium chunks, I didn’t cut them
quite in quarters, but something between fried and wedges, like in the picture :) Combine the spices in a bowl: garlic, salt, pepper, paprika and cornmeal
Add the potatoes, olive oil and coat them well in the spice mixture until fully covered.
Place them a tray and bake them in the preheated oven at 200 C for about 35-40 min, until golden and crisp enough, depending on the size of the pieces. Enjoy! :)
