Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato cubes and cook them for 10 minutes or until just fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are boiling, peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Stir in the tomato puree, vegetable broth, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried oregano. Mix well and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Add the cooked potatoes to the sauce, stirring gently to ensure they are well coated without breaking apart.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish before serving.
For added flavor, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve warm as a side dish or light meal.
