Crispy Portuguese Potatoes – Batatas Assadas

Deliciously Easy Portuguese Potatoes

These crispy potatoes are easy to make. I make them along with my roast chicken, pork or roast beef. They cook in an hour and come out perfect every time.

Ingredients:

2-3 pounds cubed potatoes (about 1-2 inches)

1/4 cup olive oil

2 to 3 tablespoons my Taste Portugal Seasoning (I use 1 tablespoon per pound)

Preparation:

  1. Place potatoes in a bowl.
  2. Coat with the olive oil and seasonings.
  3. Shake in the bowl until very incorporated.
  4. Pour onto a sheet pan forming in a single layer.
  5. Cook at 400 degrees F. for about 1 hour.
  6. Shake pan once in while so the potatoes won’t stick to pan.
  7. Pierce with fork for doneness. Continue baking until crispy edges form.

Portuguese Fries & Piri-Piri Fries

Let’s make PORTUGUESE fries. The best part is you don’t fry these, they’re air fried or  baked in the oven so they are a low fat option for french fries! Enjoy!

Piri – Piri Spicy Chile Fries or or regular fries.

Ingredients:

2 lbs potatoes cut into fries

2 tbsp TASTE PORTUGAL SEASONING 

1 tsp Piri -Piri sauce (or any Tabasco sauce)

2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions: 

Wash the potatoes and slice with skin on, into wedges about 1/2 inches wide. Rinse and dry with paper towels.

Place the potatoes into a large bowl or a large food safe plastic bag. Coat with the seasonings and oil, then add remaining ingredients. Shake well to coat.

AIR FRY METHOD:

Place 1/2 of fries into air fryer and spray with cooking spray. Cook at 400 f. for about 20 min. Shake pan half way.

OVEN BAKED METHOD:

Spray a large cookie sheet with Pam. 

Spread potatoes evenly on pan so that each one is flat on the pan. Cook at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.

Turn the fries over and cook for another 15 minutes. Cook longer if you like a crispier fry.
