Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Paprika (smoked or regular)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and scrub the baby potatoes. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, ensuring even pieces for cooking.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the potato pieces and a pinch of salt, and boil for 8-10 minutes, or until they are just tender but not falling apart. Drain well.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to create a seasoning mixture.
Step 4
Add the boiled potatoes to the bowl and toss gently to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to develop a golden crust.
Step 6
Flip the potatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, until crispy and browned to your liking.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the paprika potatoes to a serving dish.
Step 8
Optionally, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and freshness before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
