Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb potatoes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp chili flakes
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the 1.5 lb potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large pot, cover with cold water, add 1 tsp salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until just tender, about 8 minutes; drain well.

  2. 2

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes in a single layer and cook without stirring too often until golden and crispy on all sides, about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    While potatoes cook, finely chop the 1 medium onion and mince the 2 garlic cloves. In a small bowl, mix the 2 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/2 tsp chili flakes with 1/4 cup water.

  4. 4

    Remove potatoes from skillet and set aside. Reduce heat to medium, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, onion, and garlic. Cook until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Pour the tomato mixture into the skillet. Stir and simmer until thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Season with salt to taste.

  6. 6

    Return the crispy potatoes to the skillet. Toss to coat evenly with the spicy sauce. Cook for 1 minute until heated through.

  7. 7

    Serve hot, sprinkled with extra chili flakes if desired.
