Poor Man’s Potatoes is just about the simplest dish you will ever come across. A few basic items chopped up and fried in olive oil with a bit of salt is the recipe for a lot of fantastic dishes and this one tops the list. I like to eat these with ajo-aceite (garlic mayonnaise). I have become increasingly interested in this humble dish after being charged 8€ for a small plate of patatas a lo pobre in a restaurant, an 8€ irony that wasn't lost on me.
Ingredients for Patatas a lo Pobre
- 4 Potatoes,
- 3 Onions,
- 1 Red Pepper,
- 1 Green Pepper,
- 3 Cloves Garlic,
- 2 Teaspoons Vinegar
- Chopped Parsley
- Olive Oil and salt.
Preparation: Peel the potatoes and cut into thick slices. Chop the onion and peppers into strips. Chop the garlic finely. Fry the onion and peppers in the oil for about5-8 minutes uncovered. Add the slices potato and cover the dish. Stir frequently and cook until the potatoes are soft and browned just a bit. Add the garlic the last few minutes. Salt to taste. Drain the excess oil and toss the dish with the chopped parsley. Sever with a fried egg on top.
