OVEN ROPRIKA PAPRIKA POTATOES
One of our country's finest products is the potato. Many regions in our country, such as Nevrokopi, Thebes, Naxos, Lasithi, Achaia Tripoli, and more, produce potatoes. It is a beloved vegetable that can be prepared in various ways, including boiling, roasting, sauteing, making soup, or gratin.
Rich in carbohydrates (which creates a feeling of satiety), protein, vitamin C, K, B6, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and manganese, the potato is ideal for individuals suffering from inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease. It serves as an excellent source of gluten-free carbohydrates and can be safely incorporated into their diet as a garnish or even as the main ingredient of a meal.
In Greece, we cultivate three varieties of potatoes (Spunta, Lizeta, Marfona), which don't differ significantly in taste. The timing of potato harvesting varies depending on the region. We have the spring harvest (planted from January to March, harvested from April to July), the summer harvest (planted from April to June, harvested from August to October), and the autumn harvest (planted from August to September, harvested from November to January).
New potatoes, which are smaller and more tender, are harvested before reaching maturity, and their skin has not hardened yet. They are ideal for roasting with the skin on. Be cautious when purchasing new potatoes as they may appear clean and light-colored but are often water-damaged. Avoid consuming potatoes that have sprouted or turned green as they contain the toxic compound solanine.
To preserve their freshness, store potatoes in a dark and cool place, and only buy what you need, as they lose up to 50% of their vitamin C content over time.
Today, we will prepare delicious paprika potatoes that can accompany chicken, fish, or be served as a side dish for festive Christmas or Easter meals.
Our ingredients are as follows:
- 4 large potatoes, cleaned and cut into thick cubes
- Juice from one orange
- 2 tablespoons of mustard
- 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- Half a wine glass of white wine
- 1 clove of garlic
- Salt, pepper, dried oregano, olive oil
