Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 400 grams canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized chunks, leaving the skin on for extra texture and flavor.
Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes or until just tender. Drain and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the cooked potatoes and fry for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
Finely chop the onion and garlic. In a separate saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the garlic to the saucepan and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and simmer the sauce for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Toss the fried potatoes with the tomato sauce until evenly coated.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm as a tapas dish or a flavorful side. Enjoy!
