Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 small, finely chopped Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 cup Crushed tomatoes
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1-inch.
Place the potato cubes in a pot of cold salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the partially cooked potatoes in a single layer and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and the smoked paprika.
Pan-fry the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute, stirring frequently.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, red chili flakes, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Let the sauce simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you prefer it spicier, add more chili flakes.
Transfer the crispy potatoes to a serving dish and generously spoon the spicy tomato sauce over the top.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately, either warm or at room temperature.
