Instructions
-
Prepare the Oil: Begin by heating the olive oil in a non-stick fry pan or skillet over medium-high heat. It’s essential that the oil becomes very hot, as this will ensure that the first piece of potato added will sizzle beautifully, creating that desired golden-brown exterior.
-
Cook the Potatoes: Once the oil is hot enough, carefully add all the small red potatoes to the pan. Sauté the potatoes evenly, stirring occasionally to ensure they are browned on all sides. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes, giving the potatoes a nice crisp texture.
-
Add Spice and Simmer: After achieving an even browning on the potatoes, sprinkle the crushed red pepper flakes over them. Mix well to distribute the spice evenly. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low, allowing the potatoes to simmer for approximately 10 to 12 minutes. This will help them cook through and become tender.
-
Check for Doneness: After the cooking time has elapsed, check the potatoes for tenderness. They should be soft when pierced with a fork. If they need more time, simply cover and cook for a few additional minutes.
-
Season and Serve: Finally, season your Red Hot Chilli Pepper New Potatoes to taste with salt and pepper before serving. Transfer them to a serving dish and enjoy the deliciously spicy kick they bring to your meal!
Enjoy!
This dish is not only a feast for the eyes with its vibrant colors but also a tantalizing addition to your table that showcases the versatility of simple ingredients.
