Even if it maybe sounds like I'm the expert in the kitchen (I'm not. I'm still learning), honestly, some days I don't even know what I'm doing. I had an idea what the finished meal would be, but the end result came out entirely different. I forgot that peeled and cut potatoes don't take as long time to cook as unpeeled potatoes.
The result came out way better than I thought it would. It maybe doesn't look too good, but I promise you, it's sooo good.
It would be a shame not to share with you. And who doesn't love potatoes anyways?!
As you probably already know I'm from Balkan. Balkan cuisine 101, if you don't know how to season your meal, just use paprika. It will turn out great. Works every time.
If you wonder why I repeatedly season my food with smoked paprika, now you know why.
