The third Armenian recipe is a very simple baked potatoes, which I served along with Armenian Rice Pilaf. While I was searching for a simple side dish to go with the pilaf, I came across this recipe. The original source is unknown but the recipe is in various sites with the same wordings. These potatoes are baked covered in aluminium foil for nearly an hour until tender.
The spices added are very simple and so they are not very spicy. But I loved the way it turned out. It was a good match for the pilaf. The tomato paste gives a nice tang to the potatoes. It is so much like our potato preparation. This is part of the three days Blogging Marathon I am doing under European cuisine as the theme.
