Ingredients
  

  • 1 large potato
  • 4 slices of jamon
  • 1 egg
  • 3-4 tbsp flour
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2-3 garlic cloves minced
  • 500 ml chicken stock
  • parsley chopped
  • olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Slice the potato into evenly thick rounds. Place small pieces of jamon between two slices to form sandwiches.
  • Beat the egg in a bowl. Dip each potato sandwich in egg, then coat lightly with flour.
  • Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the potatoes until golden on both sides. Remove carefully and set aside.
  • In another pan, sauté the onion and garlic in olive oil until soft and translucent.
  • Add parsley and pour in the chicken stock. Reduce heat to low.
  • Place the potatoes into the sauce, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, turning halfway through carefully.
  • If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of water.
  • Serve hot with extra parsley and plenty of sauce.
