This healthy vegan Cyprus Potatoes recipe is quick and easy to make at home.
- We suggest using your favorite variety of Cyprus Potatoes.
- We typically cut the potatoes into wedges, which is common in Cyprus, but you can also cut them into chunks or thick slices if you prefer. Just make sure they are all uniform in size so they are finished cooking at the same time to avoid burning or under cooking.
- Typically roast potato recipes only include a fat like olive oil and spices, herbs or other dry seasonings. This helps ensure they get crispy in the oven. Cypriot Potatoes are baked differently by first roasting them in liquids like wine and lemon juice. This processes initially tenderizes the potatoes. Once the water has evaporated you’re left with a flavorful and crunchy potato
- Toss the potatoes and rotate the roasting pan halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning.
- We like to serve crispy Cyprus Potato Wedges on their own as a snack or side dish. If you’re looking to impress guests feel free to garnish the dish with chopped parsley, crumbled feta cheese or side dish of Tzatziki for dipping.
