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.
ANDALUSIAN POTATO SALAD
You'd be crazy to go to an Andalusian tapas bar and not order papas alinas (marinated potatoes). These are shallow bowls of diced yellow potatoes tossed with sweet white onions, green peppers, and sometimes tomato and tuna, then generously bathed with a good olive oil and sherry vinegar. The secret is the texture; the potatoes are slightly mashed rather than diced so they absorb the dressing better. Another secret is to use the best possible olive oil and be generous with it.

Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a medium-size saucepan, add enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the potatoes, partially covered, until they are completely tender when pricked with a skewer, 30 to 35 minutes. Drain the potatoes. When just cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes and cut them into a very fine dice.
- Place the diced potatoes and the onion, Italian pepper, tomato, scallion, 1/3 cup of the olive oil, and 6 tablespoons of the vinegar in a bowl and stir to mix. Season with salt to taste. Toss everything together, crushing the potatoes slightly, so that they are half mashed. Let the salad stand for about 2 hours to absorb the dressing. Taste and add more vinegar as necessary.
- To serve, spread the potato salad on a serving plate, sprinkle with parsley on top, then drizzle the remaining oil over it.

PAPAS ALINS OR PATATAS ALINADAS (ANDALUSIAN POTATOES)
Popularly served in the tapas bars of the Cadiz province, these potatoes are a great side dish with steak or any barbeque. For a more authentic version, top with 2 sliced hard-boiled eggs or a can of tuna.
