To begin, you will need a few basic ingredients – potatoes, peas, butter, salt and pepper. For added flavor, you may also want to add some garlic or herbs to the mix.
Start by washing and peeling your potatoes. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, slice the potatoes into thin, even strips. If you have a special tool for making potato baskets, use that, but if you don’t, you can simply use a muffin tin to shape your potato strips into baskets.
Once your potato baskets are shaped, place them in a baking dish and bake in the oven until they are crispy and golden brown. While the baskets are baking, prepare the peas by boiling them for a few minutes, or until they are tender.
When the potato baskets are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Then, carefully remove them from the muffin tin and fill them with the cooked peas.
To finish, melt some butter in a small pan and drizzle it over the top of each potato basket. Add salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle with any additional herbs or spices you like.
Potato baskets with peas are a great side dish for chicken or fish, or they can be the main course for a vegetarian meal. They are also perfect for parties and gatherings, as they are easy to make and can be served warm or cold.
If you’re looking for a way to mix up your usual potato routine, try making potato baskets with peas. They are a fun and tasty way to enjoy these versatile vegetables.
