Method

  1. To make the Sandy Potatoes, wash and trim the potatoes, then peel them and cut them into large cubes. Now fill a bowl with cold water and soak the potatoes in it.
  2. Put the Parmesan, breadcrumbs, rosemary leaves, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and mix well. Drain the potatoes, then remove the excess water by patting them dry with paper towels. Now roll the potatoes in the bowl so they are completely coated with the breading, then arrange them on a greased baking sheet.
  3. Once all the potatoes are arranged, sprinkle a little more of the breading mixture over them and drizzle with a little oil, then bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (350 °F) for about 40 minutes. Remember to turn the potatoes from time to time so they cook evenly. Once cooked, take them out of the oven and serve the Sandy Potatoes.

Variations and Alternatives

If you like spicy flavors, you can also add chili powder, curry powder, paprika or turmeric to the breading mixture.

Tips

When you cut the potatoes for baking, I recommend cutting them all roughly the same size so that they cook evenly.

Storage

Sandy Potatoes are best eaten right away, but if you have leftovers you can keep them in a container inside the turned-off oven, or anywhere at room temperature, and eat them at the next meal.
