Description

Look how spectacular the dish is, how unusual it looks! You really want to cook it, don’t you? Such potatoes on skewers are great to serve on a festive table, to the surprise of guests; and take it with you into nature - very convenient! And it’s extremely easy to prepare – just 10 minutes of active action plus an hour of baking in the oven. Potatoes bake perfectly, meat too. Of the many options for recipes for the oven with potatoes and meat, this is one of the most interesting and successful. My family and I really enjoyed it!

Potato slices are interspersed with small cutlets - both tasty and satisfying. And if you like baked vegetables, then you can also add, like me, sweet pepper rings - for bright colors and taste!

You can cook potatoes on skewers with minced meat or meat. The first option is quick; if you are in a hurry, then choose ready-made minced meat. Only high-quality: without fat and skins, then the dish will turn out delicious. In this recipe, minced beef cutlets, you can use chicken - then the dish will be more dietary, or assorted. If you are not in a hurry, buy a piece of meat and grind it in a meat grinder.

Ingredients:

• 4 medium oblong potatoes;
• 350 g of meat or minced meat;
• 1 medium onion;
• 1 clove of garlic;
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste;
• Sweet pepper or tomato rings - optional;
• Greens for decoration.

Instructions:

It is advisable to soak the skewers in water for 20-30 minutes before stringing food. Then the wooden sticks will be saturated with water and will not burn during baking.

Roll the meat with the peeled onion and garlic. Or take ready-made minced meat and add onion, grated on a coarse grater, and garlic, passed through a press or grated on a fine grater. Salt, pepper and knead thoroughly.

Peel the potatoes, rinse and cut into circles about one and a half centimeters thick. Try not to get the pieces mixed up. Peel the pepper from tails and seeds, cut into 0.5 cm rings.

We string a potato slice onto skewers - first the “top” of the potato, then we make a small cutlet from the minced meat and also string it close to the potato. Next - the next circle of potatoes and again a cutlet, then - a ring of pepper.

If you want a more dietary option, pour a little water to the bottom of the mold or a suitable frying pan and place the skewers so that their ends rest on the sides of the mold. The products will be steamed, and the fat from the cutlets will drain into the pan. But in this case, the potatoes and meat turn out a little dry. If you want a juicier and fattier option, then place the skewers directly on the bottom of the mold without water, but greased with vegetable oil. In this case, the dish will be closer to fried than steamed. Cover the pan with a sheet of foil and place in the oven preheated to 200C.

Bake the potatoes on skewers in the middle of the oven for 45 minutes - 1 hour, until the potatoes are soft (test by piercing them with a skewer). 10-15 minutes before cooking, remove the foil to brown the dish.

Potatoes baked in the oven

Oddly enough, but for some reason the simplest recipes turn out to be the most delicious and healthy. There are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of all kinds of potato recipes, but oven-baked potatoes remain almost the most delicious dish. I offer a delicious and quick baked potato recipe, or rather several favorite recipes.

Ingredients:

(4-6 servings)
1 kg. potatoes
2 cloves garlic
mild red pepper seasoning
olive or sunflower oil
salt

We peel the potatoes. It is best to take medium-sized tubers of approximately the same size. Cut small potatoes in half. If only large tubers are available, then cut them into plates of approximately the same thickness. This is necessary so that all the potatoes in the oven are cooked at the same time.

Take a baking sheet and pour a little olive or sunflower oil on it.

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet (no need to place them carefully).

Sprinkle liberally, but in moderation, with salt. By the way, to make the potatoes really tasty, we use sea or regular unrefined salt. Purified salt looks beautiful on the table, but is not very good for health and taste.

Season the potatoes with mild red pepper seasoning, also called paprika. It is paprika that gives baked potatoes a beautiful ruddy color and special taste. Therefore, it is advisable that the seasoning be finely ground, although if you come across pieces of red pepper, it’s not a big deal.

Before using, be sure to taste the paprika. Sometimes you come across very bad paprika, in which case the amount of paprika must be reduced, otherwise the potatoes in the oven will turn out too spicy.

Use your hands to gently massage the potatoes so that the oil, salt and seasoning are evenly distributed over them.

Place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake the potatoes for 25-30 minutes at a temperature of 200-250 C. It is clear that the cooking time can vary depending on the variety and size of the potato. New potatoes bake faster.

While baking in the oven, gently stir the potatoes a couple of times so that they brown evenly. To do this, it is convenient to use a culinary spatula or a wooden spatula.

When our fragrant and tasty baked potatoes become soft, take them out of the oven. Place on a plate, sprinkle with finely chopped garlic and garnish with herbs. If it’s not the season and there are no fresh or frozen herbs, then dried dill is quite suitable.

Potatoes baked in the oven can be served as a separate dish. Then it would be completely useful to serve ketchup and mayonnaise. Baked potatoes are also ideal as a side dish for meat.

Spiral potatoes baked in the oven

I suggest you try a very tasty and original recipe for spiral baked potatoes in the oven. Spiral potatoes are not difficult to prepare, but they taste divine, not to mention the look. A rosy potato spiral sprinkled with spices will not leave anyone indifferent. An ideal dish for both a festive feast and a regular family dinner. Delight your family and friends with this little culinary miracle. So, I’m telling you how to cook spiralized potatoes at home)))))

Ingredients:

(6 servings)
6 pcs. large potatoes
6 tsp breadcrumbs
2 tsp salt
1-2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
60 gr. butter
long wooden skewers
Provencal herbs seasoning
grated cheese (optional)

To prepare spiral potatoes, we need fairly large and even oblong-shaped potatoes. Wash the potatoes thoroughly with a brush, since we will bake them in their peels, but if desired, the potatoes can be peeled.

We pierce each potato through with a wooden stick. To make your work easier, lubricate the stick with vegetable oil (oil reduces friction).

Now the potatoes should be cut into a spiral. Of course, people have already come up with special machines for this, but to prepare several potato spirals, such a machine, in general, is not needed; a sharp knife will do the job just fine.

So, starting from the edge, cut the potatoes in a spiral. The knife should cut through the potatoes well right up to the wooden stick, make the spiral thickness 3-4mm. If the thickness is made greater, the potato spiral will not stretch well and may break when stretched over a skewer.

It’s okay if the first potato turns out not very beautiful, the second one will go much faster and better.

To get potatoes into a spiral, carefully stretch the cut potatoes over a wooden stick.

Coat all the potato spirals with melted butter and spread generously on the outside and inside.

Now let's prepare the spicy topping. Mix bread crumbs, salt, pepper and paprika. Do not confuse paprika with red hot pepper seasoning. Paprika is a seasoning made from red salad peppers; it is not bitter and is used to add color. The amount of salt and spices should be adjusted to your taste. If you like lightly salted and lightly peppered, then reduce the amount of salt and spices.

Sprinkle all sides of each spiral potato on a stick. Place on a baking sheet.

Place the baking sheet in a well-heated oven. Bake potatoes on skewers for about an hour at a temperature of 200-220°C. The time depends on the type of oven, so we keep an eye on the potatoes and adjust the temperature if necessary.

We remove very tasty and aromatic potatoes from the oven in a spiral. If desired, the skewers can be removed or left in, it all depends on the chef’s plan))))).

Immediately, while piping hot, sprinkle the potatoes with Provençal herbs, grated cheese and serve. That's all, the spiral potatoes are ready!!! The deliciousness is indescribable!!! Even meat will be superfluous with such potatoes.

Country style potatoes

Prepare these very tasty and appetizing potatoes with spices, which are popularly called country-style potatoes or village-style potatoes. The potatoes according to this recipe are aromatic, piquant, with a crispy crust, much tastier than those at McDonald's. Be sure to try it, it’s tasty, practical and you don’t even need meat with these potatoes)))

Ingredients:

(4-6 servings)
1 kg. small potatoes
1 tbsp. flour
1 tsp salt
spices: dried dill, curry, coriander, turmeric, ground garlic, paprika
1 dried chili pepper
vegetable oil for frying

For country-style potatoes, medium-sized potatoes are best suited; it is from them that the potatoes turn out to be the most delicious.

Cook the potatoes in their jackets until half cooked. Approximate time 10 minutes from the moment of boiling. When the water boils, reduce the heat.

Drain the hot water and cool the potatoes in cold water. Do not leave it in the water for a long time; drain the water. Remove the peel.

We cut the potatoes into slices. If the potatoes are small, then it is enough to cut them into four parts; if very small, cut them in half.

Now let's prepare the topping for our future home-made potatoes. Mix flour, salt and spices (except chili pepper). For a kilo of potatoes, I usually put a tablespoon of flour, a good heaping teaspoon of salt and two teaspoons of spices.

You can prepare the spice mixture yourself, or you can buy it ready-made. I recommend taking seasoning for fish; it is usually more aromatic and always contains dry dill. Choose fine or medium grinding of spices; large leaves can burn during cooking.

You can cook potatoes at home like at McDonald's, then use regular paprika (mild) as the main spice.

Roll the potato wedges in the prepared dressing. It is convenient to roll the potatoes in small portions, then the powder will be applied evenly.

Heat vegetable oil in a small saucepan. We don’t pour very much oil, about four centimeters high.

Important! The oil should warm up well. If you try to fry home-style potatoes in warm oil, the potatoes absorb a lot of oil and do not want to form a crispy crust.

To check the heat of the oil, dip a spaghetti straw into it. If the oil begins to boil around the straw, it means it has heated up to the temperature we need (160-170°C).

Important point! To make the potatoes spicy, put one dried chili pepper in the oil, it is also called hot cayenne pepper. It is this that gives a special piquancy, but it is important not to overdo it, one is enough.

Place potato wedges in hot oil. It is better to fry potatoes in small portions, so they do not break and fry better.

Fry for 5 minutes. If the oil was hot enough, a golden brown crust will form quite quickly.

Carefully lay out the first portion of potatoes and fry the next one. To absorb excess fat, place the fried potatoes on a paper napkin.

Serve the rosy and aromatic potatoes hot, with meat, with fish, or just as a separate dish.

Also called potato "Tornado". This is a simple but very effective way to prepare and serve potatoes. The easiest way to bake potatoes is to deep fry them. In any case, it is much easier to prepare than.

For the Tornado potatoes you will need

• Potato. Small tubers, preferably elongated.
• Dry spices. There is basil, rosemary, garlic and paprika.
• Olive oil. 2-3 tablespoons.
• Salt. Taste.
• Ground black pepper. Taste.
• Long skewers. 1 piece/1 potato tuber.

Making potato spirals.

Immediately soak the skewers in water for 30 minutes. It is best if the skewers are hard enough and will not bend under the weight of the potato tuber.

You can use any spices for potato spirals according to your taste; mixtures of herbs - French, Italian or Mexican - work very well.

For those who like spicier dishes, add a little ground hot pepper or chili flakes.

Adjust the amount of herbs and olive oil according to the number and size of potatoes.

Pour olive oil into a small bowl and add all the dried spices, including ground black pepper. Stir and let sit while soaking the skewers.

It is best to select potato tubers that are elongated, regular in shape and approximately equal in size. Peel the potatoes.

We pierce each tuber lengthwise with a skewer.

Using a thin sharp knife, diagonally, starting from the edge, cut through the potato to the skewer. Rotating the tuber, we cut the entire potato in a spiral without removing the knife or tearing it off the skewer.

The distance between adjacent cuts is approximately 5 mm.

Spread the potatoes on a skewer. We do this carefully so as not to break the spiral.

Using a pastry brush, coat the entire potato with the spiced oil.

Place the skewers with potato spirals on a baking sheet so that the skewers rest on the edges of the baking sheet and the potatoes do not touch the bottom.

Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 180ºC for about 40-45 minutes until fully cooked.

You can also deep fry it instead of baking it.

Ingredients

• Large potatoes
• Paprika
• Rosemary
• Vegetable oil

To prepare very beautiful and no less tasty spiral potatoes, you will need large and, if possible, elongated potatoes. For convenient cutting and subsequent baking, you will need to use wooden sticks.

First, you need to thoroughly wash (with a hard sponge) the potatoes and pierce them with a wooden stick. Such sticks are often sold in stores and are used as disposable skewers for barbecue.

01. Everything you need to prepare screw potatoes: knife, large potatoes, wooden sticks

You can cut potatoes with an ordinary knife; just place the knife at an angle to the potato and rotate it along the stick. There are special machines for automated slicing on sale, but this is only relevant for industrial-scale production of screw potatoes. To prepare it at home, an ordinary kitchen knife and a few minutes of time are enough.

After cutting is completed, the potatoes need to be stretched somewhat so that they occupy most of the sticks.

In order for the spiral potatoes to be rosy and aromatic, we will prepare a sauce with which to coat them. We will need a little sunflower oil, a teaspoon of paprika, a little rosemary and salt to taste. Using a pastry brush, coat the screw potatoes with the sauce and place them on a baking sheet.

Bake in the oven at 200 degrees for 20 - 30 minutes.

It is advisable to serve screw potatoes hot and with some sauce. The example uses sweet and sour sauce from the store, but you can also prepare garlic sauce, as in the rustic potato recipe.
