Preparation Steps
1
Thoroughly wash the potatoes and peel them if desired. Cut them into even slices or wedges, about 1 cm thick, to ensure even cooking.
2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then parboil the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes. This helps ensure the insides are tender while the outsides get crispy during roasting.
3
Drain the potatoes and let them dry on a kitchen towel or paper towel for a few minutes. This helps achieve a crispy texture when roasting.
4
Meanwhile, slice the red onions into thin rings and mince the garlic.
5
In a large skillet or on a grill pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the potatoes and roast, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
6
Once the potatoes are nicely browned, add the red onions and garlic. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
7
Pour in the BBQ sauce, sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly to ensure the spices and sauce evenly coat the potatoes.
8
Roast for another 2-3 minutes to allow the BBQ sauce to caramelize slightly, then remove from the heat.
9
Before serving, sprinkle the potatoes with fresh, finely chopped parsley and serve hot.
