How to make Papas al Horno

Why cooks start here

Papas al horno are potatoes roasted in fat until the edges catch. They belong under a roast chicken or beside a vacío that came out of the same oven.

Papas al horno are a staple in Argentinian kitchens, where potatoes are roasted until their edges turn crisp and golden. This dish is often found accompanying a roast chicken or a juicy vacío, both of which share the oven's warmth, creating a harmonious meal. The flavor of these potatoes is elevated with a simple yet effective blend of oil or beef fat, paprika, and rosemary, seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. The result is a side dish that complements the main course with its rich, savory notes and satisfying texture.
