These delicious Roasted Spanish Potatoes are a fantastic way to jazz up a simple Potato side dish. They have some similar style to a Potatoes Gratin, but that\u2019s about as much similarity as the two have. There is no \u2018layer\u2019 of the Potatoes like a Gratin, you simply combine the Potatoes with a wonderful mixture of Onion, Olive Oil, Garlic, Salt, and Pepper in the pan before roasting them in the oven. They\u2019re a fantastic Potato Side Dish that requires minimal effort, yet taste amazing

How to make these tasty Roasted Spanish Potatoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This dish is so simply and requires everyday ingredients that you\u2019ll be able to find at any local grocery store. The dish starts by preparing the Potatoes and Onion. Now, for a dish like this you may think you need a Mandoline to finely cut the Potatoes. Good news is this isn\u2019t required!

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, I\u2019ve found that using a Mandoline can often cut the Potatoes so finely that they end up becoming so packed tightly in the pan that they take forever to cook. No, for this dish we simply use a heavy, sharp knife to cut the Potatoes and Onions finely

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Roast
No need for a Mandoline, just slice the Potatoes and Onions with a sharp knife and mix them in with the remaining ingredients<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Just take your time prepare the Vegetables, as this is probably the only real \u2018challenging\u2019 step in the dish. I say that with quotation marks as it\u2019s not really all that challenging anyway! In fact, if you stuff up a few slices of Potatoes or think you\u2019ve cut them too thick it won\u2019t matter at all. Just cook them until they\u2019re tender and the dish will still taste amazing

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once your Potatoes and Onions are prepared it\u2019s time to mix in the remaining ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The remaining ingredients is a simple combination of finely diced Garlic (about 4 Cloves is the sweet spot), some Olive Oil, then finishing it off is a generous amount of Salt and Pepper. That\u2019s it! The simplicity of these ingredients is what makes this rustic dish so good. Nothing fancy, just a classic pairing of flavors that work perfectly together

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combine all the ingredients in your baking pan, ensuring an even coating and distribution of the ingredients throughout. For the baking pan, we recommend using one with some high sides so that you can stack the Potatoes and Onions without them overflowing

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t want the dish to be flat, so a medium-sized baking pan is what will work best. It doesn\u2019t really matter how high you stack the Potatoes; it will just impact the cooking time. Speaking of which, the Potatoes are baked in the oven set at 325F for 45 minutes

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower initial roasting temperature will help the Potatoes and Onions to evenly cook and allow them to get wonderful and tender without the outside becoming too crispy and ultimately burning. After 45 minutes you can check the doneness of the Potatoes by cutting into the dish with a knife. If there is little to no resistance, they\u2019re ready for the next step

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Roasted
The final ingredient for these Roasted Spanish Potatoes is White Wine. Add it, crank the oven, then roast until the Potatoes are golden-brown<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Remove the Potatoes from the Oven and add Wine!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yep, that\u2019s right! We\u2019re adding White Wine to the dish at this stage. It wouldn\u2019t be a Spanish dish if we didn\u2019t add some Wine anyway right? Unlike a lot of dishes, the Wine is added at this stage of the cooking process and not at the beginning

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is to ensure the Wine will better absorb into the Potatoes as they are cooked, and helps give the Roasted Spanish Potatoes a richer, more indulgent flavor

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use any type of White Wine you like; it doesn\u2019t need to be Spanish or anything too fancy. Just use a bottle of Wine that you yourself will enjoy drinking. The dish calls for \u00bd cup of White Wine to be used, so there will be plenty left in the bottle to enjoy alongside the Potatoes

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the Wine is added to the Potatoes we return them to the Oven. However, at this time we crank the temperature of the oven to 400F. This step will help the Wine to burn off the alcohol faster and to crisp up and caramelize the outsides of the Potatoes

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Potatoes will take about 20 \u2013 25 more minutes in the oven for this step. We recommend keeping a close eye on them as different ovens tend to cook at varying times. What you\u2019re looking for is a beautiful golden-brown, caramelized outside

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Roasted
Enjoy these Roasted Spanish Potatoes as a side dish along with some simply prepared Protein<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Plating the dish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that the Potatoes are cooked it\u2019s time to eat! Unlike the creamy Potatoes Gratin, these Roasted Spanish Potatoes will hold together immediately after cooking so there\u2019s no need to let them sit for 10 minutes. Which is great, because the smell will be so irresistible it\u2019ll be impossible to wait!

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is truly a classic Potato Side Dish, so we would recommend pairing it alongside a beautifully cooked meal. There\u2019s loads of options to choose from, but for simplicity\u2019s sake (keeping on the theme of the dish), we recommend some grilled Fish, Steak, or Chicken

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combination of flavors pairs perfectly, and the slow roasting of the Potatoes will give you more than enough time to prepare the appropriate protein. You can also make these Potatoes in advance and simply reheat them in the Oven before serving if you like
