SPANISH "POOR MAN'S POTATOES" - PATATAS A LO POBRE
Patatas a lo Pobre which in English means poor man's potatoes is one of the most popular Spanish dishes. This dish has its origins in the southern region of Spain, particularly in a city called Granada. As you can see by its name, they are called "Poor man's potatoes" or "Poor style potatoes", because it used to be a dish eaten only by the peasantry during famine times, mostly due to the fact that the ingredients were easy to find.

Steps:
- Peel and cut the potatoes in round slices. Do the same thing with the onion (and the peppers if you added them), you can cut the vegetables in the shape that you prefer.
- Pour some olive oil on a large pan, enough oil to cover most of the vegetables. Place the Potatoes on the cold oil and let them reach a hot temperature together.
- Cook the vegetables until they reach a confit consistency, approximately 15 minutes on low heat plus 5 to 10 more on medium heat. Halfway through the cooking add the onions and red/green peppers.
- After cooking them on the oil you can toast them on a pan (without oil) with minced garlic and a little bit of salt, just for 5 minutes so it reaches a more crunchy texture.
- Serve them hot as a garnish or as a main course!

Steps:
- Peel and clean the vegetables.
- Finely slice the potatoes approx ¼ inch thick. Cut the green and red peppers into thin strips and chop the onion into fine julienne strips.
- Chop or mince the garlic cloves.
- In a pan, heat olive oil but add in the potatoes, garlic, and onion while the oil is still cold. This way, they are cooked slowly and we achieve a kind of 'candied' result. Cook at low to medium heat for about 15 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are tender, add in the sliced peppers. Cook at medium heat for 10 more minutes.
- Increase the heat and fry everything for 3 more minutes at high heat to make the veggies crispy and browned.
- Drain everything in a colander to remove all the excess oil. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Serve chopped parsley to garnish.
