A great recipe. When I was in Spain, we ate this all the time at our favorite bar. The owner's secret was to use a bay leaf in the potatoes while you are boiling them. It adds just a little background flavor.

So simple and so tasty. I served this with steak and salad for a delicious quick and easy meal, thanks for sharing.

Good recipe, but you forgot one of the main ingredients to a true papas alioli recipe... the Spanish sherry!

I had this dish at a funeral luncheon, and had to find a recipe for it. This is very easy to make - I just wing the quantities when cooking for myself - as I'd eat four servings if they were in front of me. Also, I add a splash of sherry vinegar, which adds a little acidity to the dish. 4/23/2015
