Basque Potatoes

For 4 servings:
4 medium or all-purpose potatoes
1/2 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon paprika
cayenne/ red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1 Tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, minced
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375 F
Peel potatoes and cut them in 1-inch cubes. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe
skillet large enough for all the potato cubes to fit easily in one layer.
When the oil is hot, add garlic then stir in paprika, and a generous
sprinkling of cayenne or red pepper flakes. Remove skillet from heat. Add
rosemary, thyme, and parsley. Place potatoes in the skillet, turning them to
coat all sides with the herb mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste, then
cover the skillet and transfer it to a preheated oven. Bake potato mixture
15 minutes, then uncover, stir and continue cooking about 30 minutes,
stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and crusty brown.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
