Oven-Braised Potatoes
A hearty main dish for lunch or dinner. This is braised potatoes, but done in the oven instead of on the stovetop or in a pot. A perfect side for any occasion! The potatoes come out very tender, fragrant, soft, and fluffy.
Cooking method
-
Step 1:
How do you braise potatoes in the oven? Gather all the ingredients. Wash, dry, and peel the vegetables. Wash and dry the herbs too.
-
Step 2:
Cut the potatoes into medium cubes and the carrot into thin matchsticks. Feel free to cut them however you prefer.
-
Step 3:
Finely chop the fresh dill.
-
Step 4:
Heat the sunflower oil in a skillet, add the carrot and paprika, and cook together for 1 minute. Adjust the heat as you go.
-
Step 5:
Add the potatoes to the pan and stir. Fry for about 5–7 minutes.
-
Step 6:
Transfer the potatoes and carrot to a baking dish.
-
Step 7:
Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.
-
Step 8:
Pour the hot broth into the dish with the potatoes and stir.
-
Step 9:
Cover the dish and put it in an oven preheated to 355°F (180°C) for 40 minutes. Set the exact baking time by your own oven. Divide the finished potatoes among plates and sprinkle with chopped dill.
- If you like, add 1–2 cloves of garlic put through a press to the potatoes.
- You can also sprinkle the potatoes with a potato seasoning blend while frying.
- My family loves potatoes any way you make them — this vegetable is nearly impossible to ruin. Here the potatoes are served as a dish in their own right, but they also work as a side for meat or fish.
- Use a high-smoke-point oil for frying. Every oil is only good up to a certain temperature — its smoke point — beyond which it starts to burn and forms harmful compounds. Unrefined oils generally have a low smoke point, while refined oils hold up to heat much better. For frying, roasting, or grilling, reach for a refined oil such as sunflower, olive, or grapeseed.
- Keep in mind that every oven is different. Your temperature and cooking time may vary from what's listed here.
