Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds potatoes peeled, sliced into rounds 1/8 inch thick, washed and dried on a towel
  • 3 tomatoes peeled, seeded, and mashed
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup yellow onion chopped
  • 1 clove garlic chopped
  • 2 teaspoons hot paprika (add more if you like it spicier)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Cooking Instructions

  • Start by peeling and slicing your potatoes into rounds that are about 1/8 inch thick. Wash them in cold water to remove excess starch and dry thoroughly on a towel.
  • In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in the hot paprika, stirring well to coat the onions and garlic. Add the bay leaf and thyme, mixing everything together.
  • Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet, tossing gently to coat. Pour in the chicken stock and add the mashed tomatoes. Stir to ensure the potatoes are submerged.
  • Bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally and check for seasoning.
  • Once cooked, remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Serve hot, garnished with fresh thyme or additional paprika if desired.
