These paprika parmentier potatoes are crispy on the outside, fluffy in the middle and packed with smoky flavour. Roasted until golden and perfectly seasoned, they make an easy side dish for everything from roast dinners to BBQs and midweek meals.
David and I went out for a lovely meal to a local restaurant just before Christmas 2023 and this was one of David's side dishes. He loved them and gave me a taste. His potatoes were served with a veal sirloin, green beans and a mushroom and mustard cream sauce.
The first time I made them, we had them on the side with a t-bone steak! They're delicious...seasoned perfectly, crisp and golden on the outside and tender on the inside. Serve as an alternative to chips or roast potatoes.
They're best eaten fresh, but can be reheated in the oven or air fryer.
Tip
- 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.
