Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut any larger ones in half to ensure even cooking. Leave smaller ones whole.
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 12-15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet and toss gently to coat them in the garlic oil. Let them cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to form a golden crust on one side.
Sprinkle the smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Toss well to coat evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the potatoes. Toss one final time to mix.
Serve the garlic potato tapas warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired. Enjoy as a flavorful appetizer or side dish!
