👩🍳 How to Make It
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Cut the potatoes into bite‑size cubes, toss with olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer and roast for 25‑30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until crispy and golden.
- Remove from the oven, drizzle with a little extra olive oil if desired, and sprinkle fresh parsley before serving.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
- Pile the potatoes over a fresh mixed‑green salad with a drizzle of lemon‑tahini dressing for a light, satisfying dinner bowl.
- Serve them alongside a creamy cauliflower mash and a glass of chilled sparkling water with a splash of lime for a balanced, restaurant‑style plate.
- Turn them into a party snack by arranging the cubes on a platter with a cool avocado‑cilantro dip and sprinkle extra parsley for color.
💡 Chef's Tips & Variations
- Add a squeeze of fresh orange juice before roasting for a subtle citrus zing that brightens the spice.
- Swap smoked paprika for harissa paste and toss the potatoes with a teaspoon of maple syrup for a sweet‑heat twist.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle toasted pumpkin seeds or chopped almonds over the finished potatoes just before serving.
- Make it a one‑pan meal by adding sliced bell peppers and red onions to the sheet pan during the last 15 minutes of roasting.
