Just when you thought potatoes couldn’t get any better, along come these Spanish Boiled Potatoes with Onions & Paprika. These potatoes have the most incredible texture & flavor, they are super easy to make and it all comes together in a little over 20 minutes.
What makes these Spanish boiled potatoes so great, is that they are not over boiled, giving them an al dente texture. Which is basically a soft yet firm texture so they don´t fall apart. You can serve these potatoes as a tapas appetizer or even as a side dish. Plus they are Vegan & Gluten Free.
The key to flavoring this dish is the Extra Virgin Olive Oil and the Sweet Smoked Spanish Paprika. Two essential ingredients in the Spanish kitchen. Of course, the grilled onions on top also take this dish to the next-level 🙂 .
TIPS & TRICKS to make this Recipe: I used yukon gold potatoes, but you can use any potatoes you like. The secret is to not over boil the potatoes. Start a timmer when you turn on the heat on the sliced potatoes. You want to go between 16 to 18 minutes. Pierce one of the potatoes, if it easily goes in but with some resistance, they are perfect.
