Hello Hiveans and @qurator's team! Paprika is the key ingredient for this week's Top Chef contest. Paprika is a spice made from dried and ground red peppers and the word derives from the Hungarian word, paprika. Paprika is used to season and color rices, stews, and soups, but the flavor is more effectively brought out by heating it in oil.
I cannot think of anything else easier and faster to use Paprika in cooking, except to do this Pan Fried Potatoes, one of a favorite dish at home. So, let's start cooking this simple dish and I hope you will like it. You don't even need to peel the potatoes, easy right!
Pan Fried Potatoes with Paprika and Sour Cream Dip
INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 large potatoes, unpeeled, cut into wedges
1 medium onion, chopped
2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
For The Sour Cream Dip
1 cup yoghurt
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chives, sliced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dill
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon salt
METHODS
- Slice each potato in half length-ways, then slice each half in half again to make wedges. I liked it thin, so I sliced them to thin wedges.
'2. Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and saute until beginning to brown.
'3. Reduce heat to medium. Add onion; sauté until onion is just tender.
'4. Mix in paprika, dill and garlic powder, stir frequently until all the spices coat the wedges evenly.
'5. Add salt and pepper.
'6. Sprinkle potato mixture with fresh copped parsley and lemon juice for that zest and tangy taste.
'7. Cook until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally or until the potatoes are nice and soft on the inside and golden on the outside.
'8. To make the dipping sauce, combine all the ingredients and mix well.
'9. Serve the paprika potatoes with sour cream dip. Add some cucumber for extra crunchiness in your serving, Yummy!
And that concludes my presentation for:
That's all for now, wishing you a beautiful day ~ Life is Beautiful.
