Simple Recipe Box

Welcome back to the Simple Recipe Box podcast, where we dive into the joy of home cooking! I'm your host, Ben Harper, and today we're unveiling the secret to making irresistible Nevas potatoes. This dish is a game-changer for potato lovers, and I can't wait to share how to bring this recipe to life in your kitchen.

Let’s start with what you’ll need. Grab 4-6 large potatoes—Russet works best due to their high starch content. You’ll also need a quarter cup of vegetable oil, two cloves of minced garlic, half a teaspoon each of ground cumin and paprika, and of course, salt and pepper to taste. Optional but highly recommended for a zesty finish are two tablespoons each of chopped fresh cilantro and lime juice.

Now, onto the cooking! Heat your oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add the minced garlic and let it cook until it becomes fragrant, which should take about 1-2 minutes. Next, add your cubed potatoes. Stir occasionally, allowing them to cook evenly and start to brown, which takes about 5-7 minutes.

It’s seasoning time! Sprinkle in the cumin, paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well so the potatoes are evenly coated. Continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. You want your potatoes tender inside with a crispy, golden-brown exterior.

For an extra burst of flavor, stir in the cilantro and lime juice just before serving. This step adds a refreshing twist that complements the spices beautifully.

Serve your Nevas potatoes hot, garnished with more cilantro and lime wedges if desired. They make a fantastic side dish but can easily stand as a main course.

Now, let’s talk about storing. If you have leftovers, which might be unlikely because they’re so delicious, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll keep for up to three days. To reheat, just pop them in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes or give them a quick zap in the microwave.

And there you have it, folks—Nevas potatoes that are sure to impress at any meal. Simple ingredients, a bit of culinary flair, and you’ve got a dish that’s both comforting and exciting.
