Ingredients
- 500 grams baby potatoes (or waxy potatoes)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and dice them into bite-sized pieces (halving or quartering them as needed).
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and stir to coat them evenly in the oil.
Step 4
Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Step 5
Once the potatoes are nearly done, increase the heat slightly and add the minced garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 6
Sprinkle the smoked paprika, ground cumin, and crushed red pepper flakes over the potatoes, stirring well to coat them evenly. Cook for 1-2 more minutes to allow the spices to toast slightly.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley and stir gently to combine.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a side dish or with a dollop of aioli for dipping if desired!
