This is a fun side dish recipe when you're bored of plain old potatoes: toss them with olive oil, paprika, curry, and chili powder and throw into the crockpot!
Take Out Fake Out recipes are my favorite and this naturally gluten free side dish is a great way to spice up a boring white potato!
(Originally written in 2008, during my Year of Slow Cooking)
Day 179.
I found a new-to-me blog yesterday when I was following link after link after link.
I immediately wrote down all the ingredients for Julie's Tomato Curried Potatoes, and shut down the blog.
When the potatoes were done I spent forty-five minutes finding the blog in order to give proper credit.
I live an exciting life.
Jan 09: I have re-made and edited this post. The ingredients listed reflect my changes.
The Ingredients.
serves 6
Adapted from Dinner with Julie
7 red potatoes, washed and cut into largeish chunks
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
The Directions.
Use a 4 quart crockpot. The night before cooking, wash and chop the potatoes in 1-inch chunks and put into a zippered freezer bag.
Add olive oil, paprika, curry, chili powder, sugar, and salt. Shake well. Add drained tomatoes, and toss again.
Refrigerate overnight.
In the morning, pour bag into crockpot, and turn on.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for about 4. The potatoes are done when they are fork-tender.
The Verdict.
These smelled delicious while they were cooking, and transferred nicely to the crock. The potatoes were tender and had a nice browning of the skin.
The first time I made these, I didn't add enough spices.
This is the right combination, and if you have time to do so, marinating overnight in the refrigerator is really the way to go.
Thank you so much to Julie!
