Ingredients

• 4 pieces medium-sized potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
• 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Spread the potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until they're golden and tender.

Step 5

While the potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes or until softened.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently.

Step 7

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, red wine vinegar, cayenne pepper, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika, chili powder, and a pinch of salt.

Step 8

Simmer the sauce for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the low-fat mayonnaise with lemon juice thoroughly to make a light aioli.

Step 10

Once the potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to a serving dish.

Step 11

Pour the warm tomato sauce over the potatoes, followed by a drizzle of the lemon aioli.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
