Bolivian Papitas | Crispy Seasoned Potatoes with Garlic and Spices

0 likes 0 reviews 4 views

Bolivian-Style Papitas are a delicious potato dish prepared with small potatoes or bite-sized potato pieces seasoned with aromatic spices and herbs. They are cooked until golden and lightly crispy on the outside while remaining soft and fluffy inside. Garlic, paprika, cumin, and mild chilli add a rich savoury flavour that makes these potatoes especially satisfying.

These seasoned potatoes are easy to prepare and can be served as a snack, appetizer, or side dish alongside grilled meats, chicken, or other traditional meals. A squeeze of fresh lime juice and a sprinkle of chopped parsley or cilantro add brightness and freshness before serving.

Cooking Method

Wash the potatoes thoroughly. If using regular potatoes, cut them into evenly sized bite-sized pieces.
Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water and boil for 8–10 minutes until slightly tender but not falling apart. Drain well.
In a large bowl, combine the oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, chilli powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the drained potatoes and toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned potatoes and cook for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and crispy on the outside.
Remove from the heat and drizzle with fresh lime juice.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro and serve warm.
