Potatoes (Armenian)

The recipe calls for 'old' potatoes - I find for most part I never have old potatoes but any potato I've used seems to work just fine. I have noted some potatoes take longer to cook than others. If I do not have large potatoes I eyeball an equivalent. Have weighed the potatoes (1½ lbs or about 5 large-sized potatoes).

1½ lbs potatoes, leftovers
2 large onions, cut in chunks
¼ cup vegetable oil
3 Tbsp. tomato paste
½ cup water
1-2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. kosher or sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground
½ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

Preheat an oven to 325°F (165°C/140°C fan, Gas Mark 3).

Wash and peel potatoes, cut potatoes and onions in chunks.

In a large bowl mix together the oil, tomato paste, water, kosher or sea salt, paprika, combine with potatoes.

Add onions, pepper to taste, parsley and toss to mix.

Bake in a covered dish in a preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until potatoes are soft.

Makes 4-6 servings.
