It is prepared in almost all families, because this usual economical dish goes well with almost everything. Such potatoes can be combined with various sauces. It’s not bad as a quick snack for a large group, and children will literally love it. Naturally, you need to keep in mind the calorie content, but from time to time you can treat yourself and your loved ones. We invite you to understand the intricacies of making country-style potatoes.
Secrets of proper potatoes
What makes oven-baked potatoes truly delicious? The answer is the contrast of a crispy crust and a tender, soft center. And to achieve just such a combination, almost all chefs advise using starchy potatoes. Often it boils faster, and the inside is snow-white, not yellowish. It is better to take young potatoes with narrow skin, otherwise you will have to peel them.
It is also important to choose root vegetables of good size - not very small or huge. Potatoes that are medium-sized and elongated will be easier to cut into wedges.
If earlier you simply cut the potatoes into slices, sprinkled them with spices and sent them to the oven, then this was incorrect! Before baking, it must be boiled slightly so that the oil and spices stick to the surface, forming a golden crust.
To make the slices beautiful and tasty, be sure to use paprika and a little turmeric.
If you follow all the tips and follow the recipe, you will literally love the result! Let's cook!
Ingredients:
- potatoes - 800–900 g
- vegetable oil - 1.5–2 tbsp. l.
- salt - 1 tsp.
- paprika - 1 tsp.
- nutmeg - 0.5 tsp.
- turmeric - 0.25 tsp.
- ground dark pepper - 0.25 tsp.
- dried garlic - 0.25 tsp.
Manufacturing method:
1. Prepare the potatoes by thoroughly washing them using a vegetable brush. If the potatoes are young, you can discard the skins. Therefore, it must be completely pure. It is better to clean older root vegetables.
2. Pour water into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, cut the vegetables, each potato into 8 wedges.
3. When the water in the pan boils, place the potatoes in it, stir and cook after boiling for 4 minutes. If the potatoes are small, 3 minutes will be enough.
4. Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the potato wedges and place on paper towels. The potatoes should dry out.
5. Meanwhile, mix all the spices and vegetable oil.
6. Place the potato wedges in a deep bowl, pour a mixture of oil and spices over them. Stir gently so that any portion is covered with liquid. You can do this by hand.
7. Leave the potatoes for 10 minutes.
8. While the slices are soaked in spices, preheat the oven to 220°C.
9. Cover a baking sheet with baking paper, place the slices at a distance from each other, skin side down. Bake the potatoes for 20-25 minutes depending on the size of the pieces and the power of your oven.
10. Country-style potatoes are ready, serve immediately!
On a note
- Because turmeric is included in the spice mixture, use gloves when stirring the potatoes. So that there are no traces of the catchy spice left on the skin.
- Instead of ordinary paprika, you can use smoked paprika, so you will get a new color of taste.
- The oven must be preheated to the highest temperature. A crust will appear on top of the slices, but the inside will remain juicy.
- Tomato, cheese or sour cream and garlic sauce will suit the potatoes.

Country-style potatoes in the oven - 3 ordinary and tasty recipes
Potatoes are one of the most beloved items on our table, which can be both a side dish and an independent dish, both hot and cool. There are simply countless manufacturing methods. And in this recipe I will tell you how easy it is to prepare such an ordinary, but terribly tasty dish, like country-style potatoes in the oven.
Some of us tried potatoes in different cafes, others didn’t, but I was always interested in the fact why country-style potatoes are called that in fast food establishments? After all, they cook it in deep fat, and I can hardly imagine the average village dweller, for example, a grandmother in a headscarf, who fries potatoes in a deep fryer or a large pan of oil for her grandchildren. No, it's unlikely. But I can imagine a village dweller taking fragrant, rosy potato slices out of the oven. And even though we don’t have a stove in our city apartments and suburban houses, we do have a modern substitute - an oven. Therefore, in our recipe we will cook country-style potatoes in the oven.
And believe me, it will turn out very tasty and very useful!
How to cook country-style potatoes in the oven
Do I need to tell you how potatoes cooked in the oven are better and healthier than those that have been deep fried? I think we all know very well that a huge amount of oil, and moreover, used more than once, does not make products healthier.
And we are considering dishes that the whole family, including children, can eat. Believe me, perfectly baked food is in no way inferior in taste.
So let's start with a step-by-step recipe for making country-style potatoes.
For this we will need:
- potatoes (preferably young) - 6-7 pieces of approximately the same size,
- vegetable oil (olive or sunflower) - 0.5 cups,
- spices: paprika, thyme, oregano, dill, parsley, dark pepper - 0.5 teaspoon each,
- salt to taste.
Manufacturing:
1. Prepare the potatoes. It needs to be washed very well; for this it is useful to first soak it for a short time in cool water so that all the remaining soil is soaked, then scrub it with a clean dishwasher brush.
If you don’t have a special brush for dishes or vegetables, then a clean, brand new dishwashing sponge that you just took out of the package will do. Used ones will not work because detergent may remain on them.
The tastiest country-style potatoes in the oven come from baby potatoes if you cook them straight with the skin on. But if at the moment it is not the right time of year for this and you only have old potatoes, you can peel them, because the skin will be very thick and tasteless.
2. Cut each potato into wedges. If you have small potatoes, you can cut them into four parts, and if they are large, then into 6 or even eight. The main thing is that the pieces are not very thick and all of the same size.
3. Place the potato slices in a bowl or saucepan and pour spices and salt into it. Then, stir well until all the spices and herbs moderately coat the potato pieces.
4. Add vegetable oil to the potatoes and stir too. Oil is needed not only for taste, but also so that our country-style potatoes in the oven can brown until golden brown.
The taste of sunflower and olive oil will give a different flavor to the finished potatoes. Choose the one that you and your loved ones love most. Everyone should like the dish.
5. Prepare a baking tray for baking potatoes. You can use a baking sheet with a non-stick coating, or place waxed (baking) paper or foil on it. This way the potatoes won’t overcook and you can simply remove them ready-made.
Distribute the potatoes over the surface of the baking sheet sparingly, preferably skin side down, so that the top part browns better.
6. Bake potatoes at 180-200 degrees for approximately 30-40 minutes. The time will depend on how large your potato pieces are. To literally find out that the potato is ready, you need to pull out a piece and pierce it with a narrow knife or toothpick. The inside of the potato should become soft, like boiled, and the outside should be covered with a golden brown crust.
If your oven has a convection function, you can use it to get the crispiest possible crust for your potatoes. Hot air will perfectly dry and fry it, the main thing is to make sure it is not burnt and check its readiness.
Also, at the very end of cooking, you can turn on the grill integrated into the oven to brown the potatoes in a rustic way.
Serve country-style fried potatoes with meat or fish dishes as a side dish or as a separate dish with various sauces.
It is very tasty to eat potatoes with sour cream sauce.
The recipe for making it is very simple. Take a small cup of sour cream, squeeze two cloves of garlic into it, add a little salt and pepper, add finely chopped fresh dill. Mix everything well and serve with potatoes.
Country-style potatoes in the oven in a sleeve
There is also another method for making country-style potatoes in the oven. It can be prepared not only open on a baking sheet, but also in a baking sleeve. This will speed up the preparation of the dish and make it even softer. In the sleeve, the potatoes are not so deeply fried on the outside, but at the same time they are imbued with the aroma of spices and remain very tasty.
Both children and adults will like this potato, and it’s easier to prepare than usual.
For production you will need:
- young potatoes - 6 pieces,
- vegetable oil - 0.5 cups,
- garlic - 2 cloves,
- spices for potatoes in the set - 4 teaspoons,
- salt to taste,
- fresh herbs when serving.
Manufacturing:
1. Rinse the potatoes well. If you are going to cook it with the skin, which I advise you to do only with young potatoes, then scrub it off with a brush.
2. Cut the potatoes into wedges. It is most convenient to cut each potato lengthwise into 4, 6 or 8 parts.
3. In a separate plate, mix vegetable oil and spices.
Why do you need to combine everything in oil and not pour it directly onto the potatoes? Everything is quite simple, as I already wrote in the recipe for making a delicious kebab, oil is a universal spice solvent. In it, they discover their own taste one hundred percent and give it to the product, because they are also a guide.
4. Add finely chopped or crushed garlic to the oil with spices. You can also grate garlic on a small grater, but the less it loses its own natural juice, the more aromatic the potatoes will be.
5. Mix the potatoes with the purchased fragrant oil so that it is moderately distributed over all pieces.
6. Place the potatoes in a baking sleeve (or bag) and tie the open ends. Make punctures in several places so that the sleeve does not tear.
7. Bake in the oven at 180-200 degrees for about half an hour. After this, take out the potatoes, cut the sleeve and check for softness. If the potato pieces are soft inside, it means it is ready. Now you can cut the sleeve lengthwise and open it as much as possible. In this form, put it in the oven for a couple more minutes to brown the crust of the country-style potatoes.
8. Serve with meat dishes and sauces.
Country-style potatoes can decorate even a festive table, replacing the usual side dish in the form of mashed potatoes. Such abundance may be very attractive to your guests.
Also, country-style potatoes are a delicious, fragrant, fiery appetizer, for example, to go with beer. Especially in combination with other hot dishes, for example, sausages or chicken wings, fried ribs or fish. They will go very well with various pickles, mushrooms, and pickled vegetables. Such a snack table will bring any beer lover into ecstasy.
