Spain on a Fork

Spain
The name Patatas a la Importancia translates to Important Potatoes. The reason for this kind of a weird name? The potatoes are treated like a main ingredient here. Really taking this potato dish to the next level in deliciousness.

• ⅓cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2medium sized Yukon gold potatoes
• 2cage-free organic eggs
• ¼cup AP flour
• ½onion finely diced
• 3cloves garlic finely minced
• 1TBS corn starch
• ½tsp sweet smoked Spanish paprika
• ½cup white wine
• 3cups vegetable broth
• handful freshly chopped parsley
• sea salt
• black pepper

Slice 2 Yukon gold potatoes into rounds that are a ¼ inch thick, crack 2 large eggs into a bowl, season with sea salt & black pepper and whisk together, in another bowl add in a ¼ cup of AP flour, season with sea salt & black pepper and mix.

To coat each slice of potato, start with the flour mixture and then into the egg wash, making sure to shake off any of the excess flour and egg wash.

Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil, after 2 minutes start adding the coated potatoes, cook in batches to not over-crowd the pan, after 3 minutes flip to cook the other side, after another 3 minutes remove the potatoes from the pan and transfer to a plate with paper towels, continue to cook until all the potatoes are done.

Using the same pan with the same heat, add in ½ finely diced onion and 3 cloves garlic finely minced, mix with the olive oil, after 3 minutes add in 1 TBS of corn starch and a generous ½ tsp of sweet smoked paprika, mix until well combined, then add in ½ cup white wine and continue to mix until you form a thick sauce, then add in all the slices of potato (it´s ok if they are stacked around each other) and pour in 3 cups of vegetable broth (or just enough to cover all the potatoes), turn up the heat to a medium-high, at this point you don´t have to mix anything, but do give the pan a quick shake once in a while.

After about 25 minutes and almost all the broth has been incorporated into the potatoes and they are fully cooked through, remove from the heat, serve directly out of the pan garnished with freshly chopped parsley, enjoy!
