Ingredients

  • 1 pound small potatoes cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red bell pepper stemmed, seeded, and chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro for serving
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cut small potatoes with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
  • Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the bowl. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  • Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • While the potatoes are roasting, heat 1 teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and red bell pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until soft.
  • Add the chopped garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Once the potatoes are crispy, toss them with the sautéed vegetables. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.

Notes

  • Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes for extra crispiness.

  • Increase red pepper flakes for a spicier kick.
  • Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure roasting, not steaming.
