Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add potatoes and cook, stirring often, until golden and crispy, about 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Toss potatoes with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

  3. Step 3

    In the same skillet, toast bread slices 90 seconds per side until golden and crispy on edges.

  4. Step 4

    Top each toast with a slice of manchego, then drape jamón serrano over the cheese while bread is still warm.

  5. Step 5

    Drizzle each toast with hot honey and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

  6. Step 6

    Serve toasts immediately alongside warm patatas bravas.
