Preheat the wood fire until the flames die down and coals are visible.

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove dirt.

Pat the potatoes dry with a towel.

In a bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Add chopped rosemary and minced garlic to the potatoes and mix well.

Wrap each potato individually in aluminum foil.

Place the wrapped potatoes directly on the hot coals of the wood fire.

Cook for 45-60 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.

Check for doneness by inserting a skewer; it should slide in easily.

Remove the potatoes from the fire and unwrap carefully to avoid steam burns.

Let the potatoes cool slightly before serving.

Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with paprika before serving.
