Poor Man's Potatoes ("Papas A Lo Pobre")
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.
Servings: 4 to 6 people
Ingredients
- 4-6 medium sized potatoes
- 2 onions
- 2 green peppers
- 3 cloves garlic

Instructions
- Wash and peel your potatoes and chop them into thin slices.
- Chop up the onions, green peppers, and garlic
- In a large skillet add a good amount of olive oil and cook the potatoes over low heat until they begin to soften. Make sure to continue moving the potatoes carefully so they don't fry.
- When you see that the potatoes begin to soften, add the green peppers, onions and garlic
- Continue cooking until the potatoes, peppers and onions are all very soft.
- Drain the excess olive oil
- Add salt and pepper to taste
- Serve and enjoy as a side dish!
