Baked Potatoes with Chickpea Flour and Poppy Seeds
Ingredients: potatoes chickpea flour poppy seeds salt, oil
To prepare this delicious recipe for crispy potatoes, start by choosing the right potatoes. Ideally, you should use 'stone flower' or 'yellow' potatoes, as they have a better texture for achieving a golden and crispy crust. Once you have chosen them, carefully wash them under cold running water, making sure to remove any traces of dirt or impurities. Once cleaned, cut them into evenly sized pieces, either quarters or cubes, depending on your preference. Size is essential, as larger pieces require a longer boiling time, while smaller cubes will boil faster.
After cutting the potatoes, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and let them boil for 2 to 6 minutes, being careful not to cook them completely, but just to make them a little softer than if they were raw. If you prefer smaller cubes, skip this boiling step, as frying them will be sufficient to cook them.
After boiling, drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. In the meantime, prepare the spice mix. In a bowl or a freezer bag, combine chickpea flour with poppy seeds. This mixture will give the potatoes a unique flavor and a crispy crust. Add the cooled potatoes to the flour and seed mixture, pouring in a little olive oil to help the flour stick. Close the bag and shake vigorously so that each potato piece is evenly coated.
Preheat the oven to a high temperature, about 220°C (428°F), and prepare a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Arrange the flour and seed-coated potatoes on the tray, making sure to distribute them evenly to allow for even baking. Bake the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, or until they become golden and crispy, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
Finally, when the potatoes are ready, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with salt to taste. This step is essential, as the salt will enhance the flavors and add extra savoriness. Serve them warm, alongside a yogurt dip or a flavored mayonnaise, for a complete culinary experience. These crispy potatoes are perfect as a side dish but also make a delicious appetizer at parties or gatherings with friends. Enjoy your meal!
