Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 small, finely chopped Onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 cup Crushed tomatoes
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1-inch.

Step 2

Place the potato cubes in a pot of cold salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the partially cooked potatoes in a single layer and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and the smoked paprika.

Step 4

Pan-fry the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, red chili flakes, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Let the sauce simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you prefer it spicier, add more chili flakes.

Step 9

Transfer the crispy potatoes to a serving dish and generously spoon the spicy tomato sauce over the top.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately, either warm or at room temperature.
