BASQUE STYLE POTATOES
Spicy potatoes. You can do these in the oven if you like, but I find the stovetop to be easier when I have a limited amount of time and/or energy. When I'm feeling especially lazy, I sub out a premixed creole seasoning for the seasonings. Always add the fresh garlic though.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a heavy skillet (that has a lid).
- Add the onion and garlic.
- Cook until soft.
- Add the remaining ingredients and stir.
- Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are soft.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for this dish, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the potatoes are not cut evenly, some pieces may be overcooked while others are still undercooked.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the potatoes from burning.
- Don't stir the potatoes too much: Stirring the potatoes too much will break them up and make them mushy. Gently shake the pot or Dutch oven a few times during cooking to ensure that the potatoes are evenly browned.
- Season the potatoes well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all classic seasonings for Basque-style potatoes. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as paprika, cumin, or cayenne pepper, to taste.
- Serve the potatoes hot: Basque-style potatoes are best served hot, right out of the pot or Dutch oven. They can be served as a main course or side dish.

Basque-style potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their crispy exterior and creamy interior, these potatoes are sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
