Directions
1.
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. With a mortar and pestle or a fork, mash the garlic, ground bay leaves, and paprika to a paste. Stir in the sweet red pepper paste. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while stirring constantly. Cut crosshatches about 1/2-inch deep every few inches along the surface of the roast. Rub the paste all over the roast, pushing some of the paste into the crosshatches.
2.
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoons of the parsley and the garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and olive oil until well coated.
3.
Put the pork in a lightly oiled roasting pan and scatter the potatoes around it. Roast until the internal temperature of the pork is 150 degrees F and the potatoes are tender, about 1 hour (turning the potatoes occasionally). Transfer the roast to a carving board and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle the potatoes with the remaining parsley and serve.
