Smoky Roast Potatoes Recipe
Description
The Smoky Roast Potatoes recipe relies on red potatoes cut into quarters and thoroughly coated with olive oil, smoked Spanish paprika, fresh thyme, sea salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper to deliver a layered flavor profile combining smokiness and mild heat. Roasting them lined on a parchment paper baking tray at 425°F develops crisp edges while keeping the centers fluffy.
This preparation yields potatoes that are golden and crunchy outside with a soft interior. The smoked paprika provides the distinctive smoky nuance, while the thyme adds herbal aromatic notes. The cayenne pepper adds a gentle warmth that is not overwhelming.
Serving the potatoes immediately, optionally topped with crumbled feta and fresh parsley, provides a pleasant contrast of creamy and fresh flavors against the roasted spices. This dish works well as a side to grilled or roasted meats or as part of a vegetable-focused meal.

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Add the potatoes, olive oil, Spanish paprika, thyme leaves, sea salt, cayenne, and pepper to a large bowl and toss till everything is evenly coated.
- Transfer the potatoes to the baking tray and roast for 35 minutes, or until they are soft in the center and crispy on the outside.
