Creating crispy garlic skillet potatoes is easy if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly. If they are larger, cut them in half or quarters for even cooking.
2. Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot, add the potatoes and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10-15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the potatoes.
4. Add the Potatoes: Carefully add the boiled potatoes to the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes until they start to brown.
5. Season with Garlic: Add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using) to the skillet. Stir gently to coat the potatoes without breaking them.
6. Continue Cooking: Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
7. Garnish: Once done, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

These steps will guide you in creating crispy garlic skillet potatoes effortlessly.
