Receta en Español
'Patatas revolconas',also known as 'revueltas', 'meneás' or 'removidas' is a typical dish from the center of Spain, places like Ávila, Salamanca and Extremadura.
This dish come from a typical dish that farmers were used to cook in the past, it is a potato purée mixed with paprika and bacon, or 'torreznos' that are similar to bacon but thicker.
The traditional recipe was made with 'torreznos'.
This dish is very common at bars and taverns.
Ingredients (4 people):
- 2 big potatoes.
- 1/2 tablespoon sweet paprika.
- 1/2 tablespoon hot paprika.
- 2 slices bacon for every person.
- Salt.
- 3 tablespoon olive oil.
Method:
1- Wash potatoes , put them in a casserole with water and salt, cook them until they are soft. More or less for 40 minutes. Potatoes are done faster if you make some cuts along them.
2- Smash potatoes with the help of a fork.
3- Pour oil in a frying pan , fry bacon until it is done. Then,keep aside.
4- Add some paprika to the frying pan, cook for 1 minute at low heat and add smashed potatoes.Mix well with the help of a wooden spoon.Once well mixed you already have 'Patatas revolconas'.
5- Put smashed potatoes together with the bacon, this way you have the dish ready.
My comments to the RecipePay attention the moment you fry paprika, don't over heat it because it can become sour.
The dish is tasty, but also super caloric, don't eat too much.
