SPANISH "POOR MAN'S POTATOES" - PATATAS A LO POBRE



Spanish

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.

8 medium potatoes
2 large green peppers, seeded
1 large red bell pepper, seeded
1 medium onion

1 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

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.

  • Increase the heat and fry everything for 3 more minutes at high heat to make the veggies crispy and browned.
