ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA
This is a simple way to put an enormous amount of flavor on a plate, and it is particularly delicious with roast chicken - or as a side dish for slab-bacon tacos with burned scallion crema. (Drizzle a little of the crema onto the potatoes just before serving, as if to recall the aioli served with patatas bravas in Spain.) As always when using paprika, smoked or plain, if you can't recall the last time you did so, it is time for a new jar. All spices go stale. Paprika does so quickly.

SMOKED PAPRIKA CHICKEN STROGANOFF (GORDON RAMSAY)
We saw this on the F Word and I knew immediately I needed to try it. This is a very tasty chicken meal that is served with spatzle instead of noodles. It wasn't the taste I was expecting (I was expecting it to be more like stroganoff) but it was still very good. The taste of the smoked paprika is what makes this dish, which is different from "normal" paprika (also known as sweet paprika).

LEMON ROASTED POTATOES WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA AND ROSEMARY
A potato doesn't need much else other than oil, salt and a hot oven to be truly delicious. But dust them with smokey paprika, and roast them alongside tangy lemon slices on a bed of woodsy rosemary, and you have some truly special potatoes. A large and waxy potato is best here (Yukon Golds especially), but know that a starchy potato like an Idaho would also work; just expect something fluffier with less crispiness.

SAUTéED GREENS WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA FOR TWO
Soft slivers of garlic and shallots and a dash of smoked paprika give this verdant side dish its complexity and charm. You can make it with any greens you have on hand. Softer spinach and chard make for a silkier dish, while sturdy kale and collard greens give it more heft. Just adjust the cooking time as needed to make sure your greens are thoroughly tender.

Steps:
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and let it heat up for about 20 seconds. It will thin out to coat the pan. Stir in shallot slices and garlic, and cook until pale golden at the edges and softened, about 2 minutes. Add a big pinch of salt and the paprika. Give everything a stir.
- Add the greens to the pan, using tongs to toss everything well. Add broth, and let greens simmer, until very soft, about 3 minutes for tender greens, and up to 15 minutes for tougher, mature greens. If the greens still seem tough but the pan is dry, splash in a little water and let cook for another few minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Squeeze on a little lemon juice, if you like, then serve hot or warm.
