- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the chopped potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking and pat dry thoroughly.
- You can substitute paprika with smoked paprika for a smokier flavor.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme for added aroma and taste.
- Adjust salt according to your dietary preferences.
