1 pound small Florida red potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, chopped fine
2 tablespoons fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon all-purpose seasoning (such as Florida Everglades)
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
Rinse and clean any debris from all the potatoes. Carefully use a vegetable peeler to peel a ring around each potato. Place the partially peeled potatoes in a medium pot filled ¾ of the way with cold water. Place the pot over medium-high heat and cook potatoes for 25 to 35 minutes, until about 80% done. The potatoes should be almost soft, but not falling apart. Drain the potatoes into a colander. Run cold water over the potatoes to stop the cooking process. Once the potatoes have cooled completely, let them dry before the final cooking process.
Preheat a large sauté pan over medium heat. In a medium mixing bowl, add the par-cooked potatoes, olive oil, smoked paprika and seasoning blend. Toss the potatoes to evenly coat. Carefully add the seasoned potatoes to the preheated sauté pan. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until crispy on the outside and tender in the middle. Add the garlic and fresh herbs, tossing to coat. Remove the potatoes from the pan into a serving dish. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm and garnish with fresh herbs.
