Ingredients

• 1.5 kg potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Wash, peel (optional), and cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks of approximately 2-3 cm.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes with olive oil, sweet paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly with the spices.

Step 4

Transfer the seasoned potatoes to a baking tray or oven-safe dish, spreading them out in a single layer for even cooking.

Step 5

Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves, then add them to the baking tray, scattering them over the potatoes.

Step 6

Add small knobs of butter evenly across the surface of the potatoes to enhance their richness while cooking.

Step 7

Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges, tossing them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.

Step 8

While the potatoes are baking, finely chop the fresh parsley.

Step 9

Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for a burst of freshness.

Step 10

Serve the Bulgarian Potatoes hot as a side dish or a hearty vegetarian main.
