Steps:

• Cut each potato into an even rectangular shape by cutting off the bottom, top, and sides; cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Place potatoes in a medium, heavy saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover, season with salt, and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are slightly tender, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and drain potatoes on paper towels.
• In a large saute skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the onions and saute until soft, about 3 minutes.
• Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
• Add the drained potatoes and cook, turning, until browned on both sides, about 10 more minutes.
• The last few minutes, add the smoked paprika and mix.
• I like to get them nice and crispy on the outside. Enjoy!
