Step 1
Scrub the 2 lb potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until just fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well.
Step 2
Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the drained potatoes in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and cook without stirring for 4-5 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Step 3
Flip the potatoes and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until they are crispy and golden on all sides, about 8-10 minutes more. Season with the 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 4
Reduce heat to low. Add the 1 cup sour cream and 1 tsp paprika to the skillet. Stir gently to coat all the potatoes evenly.
Step 5
Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce is warmed through and slightly thickened. The potatoes should be fully coated and the sauce should be creamy, not runny.
Step 6
Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with extra paprika or fresh herbs if desired.
