Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash, peel (optional), and cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks of approximately 2-3 cm.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes with olive oil, sweet paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly with the spices.
Transfer the seasoned potatoes to a baking tray or oven-safe dish, spreading them out in a single layer for even cooking.
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves, then add them to the baking tray, scattering them over the potatoes.
Add small knobs of butter evenly across the surface of the potatoes to enhance their richness while cooking.
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges, tossing them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
While the potatoes are baking, finely chop the fresh parsley.
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for a burst of freshness.
Serve the Bulgarian Potatoes hot as a side dish or a hearty vegetarian main.
