Learn how to make delicious Potato and Rice Recipes. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
2 cups long-grain white rice
4 cups chicken broth
2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch, ensuring fluffy rice.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the diced potatoes, cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add the rinsed rice to the pot, stirring to coat it in the oil and spices. Toast the rice for about 2 minutes, enhancing its nutty flavor.
Pour in the chicken broth, season with salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to allow the rice to fully absorb the flavors.
Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your homemade comfort meal!
