Portuguese Shepherd's Potatoes

Submitted by FlemishMinx

"We like this stove-top potato recipe because it is quick,and delivers on flavor but won't overpower your main course meat dish. Easily paired with pork, lamb, poultry, or beef. Pimenton is the Spanish smoked paprika and can be substituted with Hungarian paprika."

 

• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 750 g potatoes, peeled and in one inch dice
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary, crumbled
• 1 teaspoon pimenton smoked paprika, to taste
• water, as needed

directions

1. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan large enough to hold the potatoes in one layer.
2. Fry the onion and garlic, along with the rosemary until the onion is golden (but do not burn the garlic).
3. Add the pimenton, mixing well.
4. Add the potatoes and mix, insuring that they become covered with the onion mixture.
5. Add just enough water to cover the potatoes.
6. Put a lid on the frying pan and simmer until the potatoes are cooked, about 15 minutes; you may need to take the lid off for the last five minutes or so (and stirring as needed to prevent sticking) in order to evaporate all the remaining liquid.

These potatoes are fantastic! The flavors really compliment each other. I served them with baked salmon and it was great. I added just a cup of water and it absorbed just as the recipe said. This was a hit. Thanks, Carole in Orlando

My hubby could not stop eating these. A very nice complement to the Portuguese Pork Ragout with Sweet Peppers. Try them together!

I liked the concept of the dish, however, I think I added too much water. The instruction is to cover & I covered them with water but will use less next time.

While the paprika and garlic take centerstage, it was the nice under current of rosemary that really makes this dish shine. I left the skins on the potatoes out of personal preference and served this with some yogurt marinated grilled chicken. Looking forward to having the rest of the potatoes tomorrow with eggs for breakfast.

I really enjoyed this dish. The potatoes were VERY flavourful and complimented pan-seared chicken wonderfully. I loved the way the potatoes were crusty outside and creamy in the middle. Sort of like hashed browns, but different. Thank you - this goes in with the Keepers.
