Spanish Potatoes Recipes

Spanish food is generous and social — bold smoky-sweet flavours layered over a slow-cooked sofrito base, made for sharing. When Spanish cooks work with potatoes, they reach for olive oil, smoked paprika, saffron, garlic, sherry and good chorizo, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are frying, simmering, boiling and roasting.

The comforting carbohydrate that roasts, mashes, fries and bakes its way into cuisines worldwide. In this collection it's most often cooked with olive oil, smoked paprika, fine sea salt, garlic, onion and mayonnaise. The dishes here span spanish classics ready in as little as 30 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.
