Method

Preparation of Potatoes

  1. 1

    Prep the Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes.

  2. 2

    Season with EVOO and Spices

    In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato cubes with EVOO, Italian spice mix, and a pinch of salt and pepper until evenly coated.

Cooking Potatoes

  1. 3

    Roast the Potatoes

    Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Prepare Corn Sofrito

  1. 4

    Cook the Corn Sofrito

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of EVOO. Sauté onion and red bell pepper for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and corn, cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Stir in chopped cilantro and remove from heat.

Final Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the potatoes are crispy, toss them with the corn sofrito and chopped parsley. Serve hot as a delightful appetizer or side dish.
