Baked potatoes
This recipe is really my mom's and I am sharing it because it is tasty, crispy and delicious. It is a different take on roasted potatoes flavored with Trinidadian seasonings. This dish makes an appearance at a lot of special occasions and is an unexpected hit.
It starts off with potatoes par-boiled for 15 minutes and then flavored with ketchup, seasonings and coated with flour, fried and topped off with grated cheese. I prefer roasting the potatoes and added a little corn starch with the flour to help crisp the potatoes.
This is a great side dish, as the potatoes develop a crispy exterior but remain soft on the inside . The ketchup and seasonings create a flavorful lightly sweet and savory flavor reminiscent of barbecue . This dish can be made vegan by substituting vegan cheese or omitting and can be served with vegetables, proteins and salad.
