• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized chunks, leaving the skin on for extra texture and flavor.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes or until just tender. Drain and set aside.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the cooked potatoes and fry for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Add the garlic to the saucepan and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and simmer the sauce for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

Step 7

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Toss the fried potatoes with the tomato sauce until evenly coated.

Step 9

Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
