Equipment

Ingredients

  • 500 g (1.1 lb) baby potatoes cut in halves or thirds (depending on the size of them)
  • cooking salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp hot smoked pimentón or smoked paprika
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Parboil the potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water for 3 minutes.   Drain and leave to steam dry.
  • In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with the pimenton (or smoked paprika).
  • Put the parboiled potatoes in a small roasting tin or dish. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and then drizzle with the flavoured olive oil.   Mix well to coat all of the potatoes.
  • Roast in the oven for 40 minutes, turning once halfway through.
  • Transfer the cooked potatoes to a serving dish and give them a try with our Spanish chicken traybake.

Notes

  • Optional variations:
    • Spicy Spanish potatoes - make them spicy by adding some chilli flakes or cayenne pepper.
    • Garlic butter potatoes - swap the pimentón (or smoked paprika) for crushed garlic, melted butter and chopped parsley.
    • Chorizo roast potatoes - add slices or chunks of chorizo to roast along with the potatoes.
    • Lemon and herb potatoes - swap the pimentón for lemon juice and zest, parsley, thyme or rosemary.
  • This Spanish-style roast baby potatoes recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
