ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA
This is a simple way to put an enormous amount of flavor on a plate, and it is particularly delicious with roast chicken - or as a side dish for slab-bacon tacos with burned scallion crema. (Drizzle a little of the crema onto the potatoes just before serving, as if to recall the aioli served with patatas bravas in Spain.) As always when using paprika, smoked or plain, if you can't recall the last time you did so, it is time for a new jar. All spices go stale. Paprika does so quickly.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Combine the sweet potatoes, onion and garlic in a large bowl, and drizzle the olive oil over it, then toss to coat. Sprinkle the salt, pepper and smoked paprika over the potatoes, and toss again to coat. Tip the potatoes onto a sheet pan or into a shallow casserole, then cover it with foil.
- Roast the potatoes in the oven, tossing occasionally, until they are soft at the center and beginning to crisp at the edges, approximately 30 to 40 minutes. Serve hot, drizzled with burned-scallion crema if you like.

- If you want to make the sweet potatoes ahead of time, you can bake them up to 3 days in advance. Just store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
