Method

Boil the potatoes for 5-6 minutes until just cooked, drain and set aside.
Meanwhile heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan, fry the onions for 3-4 minutes until softened a little. Stir through the paprika and cook for 2 minutes more, then put on a plate. Add another glug of oil to the pan. Add the potatoes with plenty of seasoning, then fry, turning occasionally, for 6-7 minutes until starting to crisp and turn golden in patches.
Add the sweetcorn to the pan, tossing to combine. Fry for 2 minutes, then tip the paprika onions back into the pan and mix.
