Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut each potato in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking and maximum flavor absorption.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.
- Add the halved potatoes to the bowl and toss carefully, ensuring each potato is evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture. Sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste.
- Spread the potatoes cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer with some space between each potato for proper roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- The potatoes are done when they are golden brown, crispy on the outside, and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
- Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy the Bloody Mary Roasted Potatoes while they are hot and crispy.
Tips
- Choose the right potatoes: Baby potatoes work best for this recipe, ensuring even cooking and maximum crispy exterior.
- Pat potatoes completely dry before seasoning to achieve maximum crispiness. Moisture is the enemy of a perfect roasted potato!
- Use fresh, high-quality hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce for the most robust flavor profile.
- Arrange potatoes cut-side down on the baking sheet to get that irresistible golden-brown crust.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - give your potatoes some breathing room to ensure they roast, not steam.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of celery salt or garnishing with crispy bacon bits to amplify the Bloody Mary theme.
- Serve immediately for the best texture - these potatoes are at their peak when they're hot and crispy straight from the oven.
