I found Michelle (Cookin4Love)'s blog http://cookingthebooksusa.blogspot.com/
This recipe is to die for, and quick to make to boot! DH asked when will we have it again, as too many times I make a recipe and don't repeat it. This IS a repeater. Thanks Michelle!!

Paprika Potatoes
Vegan Express

While I haven't had much of a chance to cook the past couple of weeks, I did have this photo lying around of a recipe I haven't posted yet. And that's a shame, because this was truly an exceptional, and exceptionally quick, side dish. You start by using a microwave to bake a few potatoes--just as many as you need. I used four medium Yukon Golds. (And for those who know me well--yes, I did use "microwave" and "potato" in the same sentence. You can shut up about it now. Taunting me will not really make your life better.) When the potatoes come out of the microwave, they take a little bath in ice water to spare your fingerprints from being cauterized off of your body. Slice 'em or dice 'em, it really doesn't matter. But get some olive oil in a skillet, heat it up, and throw those babies in there. When they begin to turn golden, add lots of sliced scallions, as much minced garlic as sounds good to you, and a "generous" sprinkling of paprika. I used smoky Spanish paprika, and loved it. I guess I should mention that this is one of the "no recipe" recipes from Vegan Express.

Glad you enjoyed them, Susan. Also glad you brought them back up to my attention. I had forgotten about them, and they truly are one of the easiest side dishes going. I have a bunch of small red potatoes that I think would take very nicely to this preparation. I think I see dinner tonight...
