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!

PATATAS A LA POBRE (POOR MAN'S POTATOES)
Spanish recipe from the Alpujarras. This is the most authentic version I know and is similar to the version served in the mountain restaurant where we like to take our visitors. Genuine patatas a la pobre does not contain meat but we often add beaten eggs to the drained patatas and cook some more, stirring until the eggs are set (scrambled eggs in UK, shirred I think in US)

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large, deep frying pan (I use a non stick wok).
- Add the potatoes and some salt and fry on a high heat for 5 minutes, turning the potatoes in the oil, and then turn the heat down very low.
- Cover the pan and continue gently frying the potatoes for 10 minutes.
- Add the green pepper, garlic and onion and give everything a good stir.
- Cover the pan again and leave to fry gently for another 10 minutes. Check from time to time to make sure that it's not sticking too much to the bottom of the pan.
- At the end of 10 minutes look to see whether the potatoes are cooked and taste for salt, add some more if necessary.
- The potatoes need to be soft but with some of them a bit crispier to add to the flavour. If the potatoes are not fully cooked, put the lid back on and leave on the heat for another 5 minutes or so.
- Remove the vegetables from the oil with a slotted spoon and serve.
- If you want to add eggs, drain the oil from the pan, leaving the veggies and turn the heat up a little higher.
- Add one beaten egg per person and cook, stirring, until eggs are cooked to your taste.
- Prep time includes 20 mins soaking.
