Spanish Patatas a lo Pobre – Poor Man’s Potatoes
Patatas a lo Pobre is a traditional Spanish potato dish made with simple ingredients like potatoes, peppers, onions, and garlic slowly cooked in olive oil.
Ingredients
- 4 potatoes
- 1-2 bell peppers depending on size
- 1 onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- olive oil for frying
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds so they cook evenly.
- Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the sliced potatoes and cook gently until they begin to soften.
- Remove some of the excess oil from the pan if needed.
- Add the chopped onion and bell peppers to the potatoes and continue cooking.
- When the onion becomes translucent, add the minced garlic.
- Cook everything together until the peppers are soft and the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
