Smoked paprika, tomatoes, sherry and red bell peppers make a Spanish-style sauce for oven-roasted red potatoes.
Ingredients
- 2-1/2 lbs red potatoes
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 3 teaspoons smoked paprika, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/4 cup sherry

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Scrub the potatoes, cut into bite-sized chunks and place in a large bowl.
