Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 kg (2.2 lb) floury potatoes (I like Maris Piper) peeled and cut into 2cm cubes
  • a large pinch of salt
  • 4 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (see Notes)
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7.
  • Put the peeled potatoes into a large pan of cold water and season with a large pinch of salt. Bring to the boil over a high heat, then immediately drain and leave to steam for 3 to 4 minutes in a colander.
  • Put the potatoes onto a large baking tray, pour over the oil and season with the smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Mix together well then shake gently to spread the potatoes roughly into a single layer. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, turning halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and crisp on the outside and tender when pierced with a knife or fork. They’re delicious served as an alternative to chips or roast potatoes.

Notes

  • Seasoning – try different herbs or spices to change up the flavour!
  • Optional variations:
    • Spicy paprika potatoes - add some chilli flakes for a spicy version.
    • Garlic and herb potatoes - replace the smoked paprika with garlic powder and dried herbs like Italian seasoning, thyme, parsley and oregano.
    • Parmesan paprika potatoes - garnish the finished potatoes with some grated parmesan.
  • This paprika parmentier potatoes recipe is easily adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.
