Paprika Mashed Potatoes

Cut potatoes into quarters. In a large pot, cover potatoes with water and add bay leaf. Over medium-high heat, bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and boil for 20 to 25 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a small frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, saute until onions are translucent and tender and garlic is golden, about 3 minutes. Keep mixture moist, if onions become dry add more oil. Add smoked and sweet paprika and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Drain potatoes and discard bay leaf. Add onion mixture, milk, salt, and pepper to pot. Using a masher or electric mixer, beat potatoes to desired consistency. Put in serving bowl and sprinkle with more paprika.
