Cut the red potatoes into quarters, ensuring they are all the same size for even cooking.

Wash the potatoes after cutting them to remove surface starch, which can cause them to stick together.

Let the washed potatoes sit in a colander for 10 minutes to remove excess water.

In a bowl, season the potatoes with olive oil, paprika, black pepper, and salt.

Toss the potatoes to coat them evenly with the oil and seasonings.

Let the seasoned potatoes sit for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the surface.

Grease a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.

Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking sheet and spread them out in a single layer.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through at the 15-minute mark.

After roasting, check that the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Transfer the potatoes to a bowl and serve as a side dish or snack.
