Ingredients

• 4 medium Potatoes
• 0.5 cup Walnuts
• 2 cups Day-old bread
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until just tender but not falling apart. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the potatoes are cooking, cut the day-old bread into small cubes to make croutons.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bread cubes and toast them for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and crispy. Remove the croutons from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the walnuts and toast them for 2-3 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Remove the walnuts and set aside.

Step 5

Finely mince the garlic and parsley. Keep the parsley for garnish.

Step 6

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the boiled potatoes to the skillet.

Step 7

Season the potatoes with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes develop a golden crust.

Step 8

Turn off the heat and gently stir in the toasted walnuts, croutons, and lemon juice.

Step 9

Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
