Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Scrub the new potatoes clean and cut any large ones into halves so they are all roughly the same size.
Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes cook, prepare the spice mix. In a small bowl, combine the paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Drain the potatoes and let them sit for 1-2 minutes to dry in the colander.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the drained potatoes to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the olive oil.
Sprinkle the spice mix over the potatoes and toss again to ensure even distribution of the spices.
Sauté the potatoes in the skillet for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and slightly crispy on the edges.
Transfer the spiced potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a snack!
