Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the potatoes on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the smoked paprika, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and several grinds of pepper. Toss to coat and spread evenly on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp around the edges. Stop here and serve as-is or mix with sautéed onions and peppers.
  4. Make the onions & peppers: Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, peppers, and garlic and sauté until soft and lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the potatoes and sprinkle with cilantro. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve hot.
