  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced Yukon Gold or russet recommended
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

  3. If desired, pour in the chicken broth for added moisture.
  4. Cover the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, checking and stirring once or twice, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. Remove the lid, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Sprinkle chopped parsley before serving.
