to taste Salt and pepper Season to preference.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until well-coated.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet and surround it with the seasoned potatoes. Spread everything out evenly.

Baking

Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are golden.

Serving

Once baked, sprinkle fresh herbs on top and serve on a large platter.

Notes

Customize your seasonings to taste. For crispier potatoes, soak them in water for 30 minutes before seasoning. You can also add colorful vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for more flavor.
