Patata L-Forn

This Maltese dish consists of sliced potatoes which are doused in olive oil, generously seasoned with herbs and spices, then baked until golden and crispy. The potatoes are occasionally elevated with the addition of onions, tomato paste, and spices such as fennel seeds or cloves. In the past, many bakeries would roast the potatoes on request, but today they are typically prepared as a classic home-cooked meal. Usually served as a side dish, roasted potatoes are a Maltese staple and a perfect accompaniment to various meat-based main courses.
