Papas a lo Pobre (Poor Man's Potatoes)

One of our favorite Malaga style potato recipes has to be papas a lo pobre! Similar to the home fries we grew up eating at brunch in the United States, these thinly sliced potatoes are cooked with onion and green pepper to give it flavor.

Ingredients

  • olive oil for sautéing
  • 4-6 medium sized potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 onions diced
  • 2 green peppers diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Pour a good amount of olive oil into a skillet and place over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook until they begin to soften, stirring them frequently so they don't brown.
  • When the potatoes begin to soften, add the green peppers, onions, and garlic and cook until soft, stirring frequently.
  • Drain the excess olive oil, then add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve and enjoy as a side dish!

Notes

  • Thinly slice the potatoes so they cook quickly and have a good texture, and use a generous amount of olive oil so they don't stick to the pan.
  • Stir the potatoes and veggies frequently as they cook to prevent them from browning or frying.
