Recipe for Crispy New Potatoes with Peanuts
Crunchy new potato fries with peanuts and snow peas, enriched with extra virgin olive oil and a twist of smoked paprika. An innovative and delicious side dish, perfect to pair with meat or fish dishes, offering a surprising mix of flavors and textures.
Instructions
- Start by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the snow peas for about 10 minutes. Drain them when they are still very al dente and cut a portion into small pieces.
- Heat the 6 tablespoons of oil in a large pan, then add the previously scraped, washed, and dried new potatoes. Sauté them well, turning them often to ensure even cooking.
- Reduce the heat, salt and pepper the potatoes to taste, and continue cooking for about 15 minutes or until they are tender but still crispy.
- Add the chopped snow peas and shelled peanuts to the pan with the potatoes, let everything simmer for another minute, gently stirring.
- Remove from the heat and serve the side dish piping hot.
Notes
To give an original touch to the recipe, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika along with the salt and pepper while cooking the new potatoes. This will give a slightly spicy and smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the peanuts.
