Baby Potatoes With Paprika 

15 to 20 baby potatoes, or 7 to 8 medium-size potatoes 
2 teaspoons kosher salt or coarse sea salt 
2 tablespoons paprika 
1 teaspoon fine sea salt 
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 

Put the potatoes in a large pot and add water to cover by about 3 inches, add salt and bring to a boil cooking until the potatoes can be pierced with a fork. Drain and let cool to room temperature then cut baby potatoes in half or medium-size potatoes into sixths to make bite sized pieces. Mix together the paprika, fine sea salt and cayenne and rub the mixture all over the potatoes. 

Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium high heat, add the potatoes in a single layer and cook until a crust has formed (about 3 minutes), turn and cook the other side to a crusty surface (about 2 minutes per side). Transfer to absorbent paper towels to drain. Repeat as needed. Serve hot.  Serves 8 to 10
