Inspired by the classic Spanish tapas dish, these loaded potatoes are packed with zesty flavour, are easy to prepare and are perfect for Aperitivo-hour snacking.

Instructions
In a large pot set over high heat, bring Original Carbonated Perrier to a boil. Add potatoes to pot and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until just tender; drain and set aside.
In a large skillet set over medium heat, add olive oil. Add onion and garlic. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender. Add in tomatoes and paprika. Simmer for 12 to 15 minutes or until thickened and fragrant. Season with 1 tsp (5 mL) salt and black pepper.
Using immersion or stand blender, pulse tomato mixture until smooth.
Meanwhile in a large skillet set over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil. Add par-cooked potatoes, turning occasionally, cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until evenly golden and crispy. Season with remaining salt.
Top potatoes with tomato mixture and sprinkle with fresh parsley and chives before serving.
