Notes
Hello, I am Valentina! Welcome to How Tasty!
I am an Italian girl in love with baking and cooking. I’ve been raised in a cooking family, baking since I was a little girl and learning from my mom and my professional chef grandma.
I created the Youtube channel How Tasty in 2017 to share with you my passion.
You don’t need to be a professional cook to follow all my recipes thanks to the video tutorials and the tips & hints you can find here.
Let’s cook!
Tips:
Making this recipe is very easy! You just need to handle the heat: you should use medium-high heat at the beginning and in the end when you want to roast ths skin of potatoes to get a delicious golden brown color, and low the heat when you pour the water in the skillet to bake through your potatoes.
Be careful to not use a too low heat, medium is better, or your potatoes will be ready and the water in the pan won’t be completely evaporated. In this case, remove the lid, high the heat and make the remaining water evaporating as quickly as you can.
This 1 Minute Paprika Sauce is a match between a mayo and a yogurt sauce: it’s incredibly quick to make and it’s made from scratch!
It has a fresh taste thanks to yogurt, with a slightly sour lemony flavor and a rich body thanks to the egg and the olive oil. It matches perfectly not just with potatoes, but with meat and veggies too!
You can personalize it as you like adding spices like onion or garlic powder or skipping the sweet chilli powder if you’re not a fan of it.
