Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half. If they're small, leave them whole.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, half of the minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and the chopped rosemary. Toss to coat evenly.
Place the seasoned potatoes on one side of a large baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer for even cooking.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with paprika, the remaining salt (1/2 teaspoon), and black pepper (1/4 teaspoon).
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs, skin-side down, for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
Flip the chicken thighs and sear the other side for 2 minutes. Transfer the seared chicken to the other side of the baking sheet, skin-side up.
Sprinkle the remaining minced garlic over the chicken and potatoes.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender and golden.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
