Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium-sized oven-safe flan dish, quiche pan, or shallow pie dish with olive oil.
Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer. Set them aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, smoked paprika, cumin, minced garlic (use a garlic press or finely chop), salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Arrange the potato slices in overlapping layers in the flan dish to create a base, continuing until all the potato slices are used up.
Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly over the layered potatoes, ensuring the liquid fills in between the slices.
Sprinkle the shredded Manchego cheese evenly across the top of the flan.
Place the flan dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, the custard is set, and the top is golden and slightly bubbly.
Remove the potato flan from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your Potato Flan Ole as a standalone dish or as a flavorful side!
