For more Mediterranean-style potatoes, try our Italian dressing potatoes or Greek lemon potatoes. The not-so-secret ingredient is Spanish paprika. It’s widely available, so you won’t be running around town looking for it. It’s way different (in a wonderfully smoky way) than everyday paprika. Most of the cooking time is hands-off. Simply toss the potato wedges in olive oil and spices, and pop them into the oven. You’ll know when they’re done because they’ll be golden brown with crispy bits on the outside. Last but certainly not least, we sprinkle some salty feta cheese and parsley over them before serving. It’s an optional, but very delicious step. There are different varieties of Spanish pimentón that range in flavor from smoky to sweet, or even spicy. Spanish paprika is different than everyday paprika which tends to be flavorless and used mainly as a garnish. More tasty smoked paprika recipes

Red potatoes – we love the texture and taste of red potatoes, but you can use another variety like white potatoes or yukon gold potatoes. Olive oil – a little bit of olive oil goes a long way and makes these potatoes crispy. Spices – Spanish paprika (pimentón), thyme, cayenne powder, and black pepper give these potatoes their wonderfully complex smoky flavor. Feta cheese + chopped parsley – optional, for serving.
We’ve even served them in a bowl instead of rice, layered with greens like arugula and other veggies for a hearty nutritious meal. Spanish recipes that pair perfectly with smoky roast potatoes
