This recipe, adapted from a local church cookbook, is incredibly easy to make and always results in empty bowls!

How to Make Armenian Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Peel and cut the potatoes and onion into 1-inch chunks.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, tomato paste, water, salt, and paprika.
  4. Add the potatoes and onions to the bowl. Season with black pepper and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Stir in the chopped parsley.
  6. Transfer the potato mixture to a greased baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with foil or a lid.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork. If using a foil cover, remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking to allow the top to brown slightly.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy!
