Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- You can add some grated cheese to the potatoes or garnish with cheese before serving.
- For extra crispiness, parboil the baby potatoes, then lightly smash them with the back of a spoon before pan-frying. This increases the surface area for better caramelization and crunch.
- If you prefer a smokier flavor, replace half the regular paprika with smoked paprika or add a pinch of chipotle powder for a subtle heat.
- To make this dish vegan and more nutritious, toss in some sautéed bell peppers or spinach along with the onions and garlic for added color and flavor.
Expert Tips
- For even cooking, ensure your potatoes are roughly the same size. If using larger potatoes, cut them into uniform pieces.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying. Work in batches to allow the potatoes to crisp up properly.
- Freshly ground paprika provides the best flavor and color.
Storage Instructions
- Leftover Paprika Potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a hot skillet to restore crispiness before serving.
