Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
Fresh paprika adds a warm, toasty scent to these potatoes, and the deep red color is deliciously appealing. Grandma used a lot of paprika in her cooking, so her supply was reliably fresh. If the paprika was more than a year old, she discarded it and bought a new container.
