Key Ingredients

Ingredients for Spanish potatoes on a white marble surface.

Yukon gold potatoes give a crispy exterior with creamy inside when roasted.

Tomato paste gives a strong tomato flavor.

Olive oil is a flavorful, nutritious fat that helps the potatoes get crispy on the outside. You can use regular olive oil or extra-virgin olive oil.

Smoked paprika lends a wonderful flavor and bright color. Garlic powder adds another punch of flavor. Feel free to add chopped onions or green pepper, but you’ll have to be careful they don’t burn.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use Russet potatoes?

Yes, you can swap out whatever potato you have on hand. Just ensure you dice them consistently so they cook evenly. You might want to peel Russets as the skin is a bit thicker than on Yukons.

What if I don’t have smoked paprika?

This may be a spice you don’t have on hand, or you may not like the unique flavor. You can use regular paprika, which is more common. Or just leave it out.
