ingredients
- 750 g potatoes, peeled and in one inch dice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon pimenton smoked paprika, to taste
- water, as needed
directions
- Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan large enough to hold the potatoes in one layer.
- Fry the onion and garlic, along with the rosemary until the onion is golden (but do not burn the garlic).
- Add the pimenton, mixing well.
- Add the potatoes and mix, insuring that they become covered with the onion mixture.
- Add just enough water to cover the potatoes.
- Put a lid on the frying pan and simmer until the potatoes are cooked, about 15 minutes; you may need to take the lid off for the last five minutes or so (and stirring as needed to prevent sticking) in order to evaporate all the remaining liquid.

While the paprika and garlic take centerstage, it was the nice under current of rosemary that really makes this dish shine. I left the skins on the potatoes out of personal preference and served this with some yogurt marinated grilled chicken. Looking forward to having the rest of the potatoes tomorrow with eggs for breakfast.

I am an American married to a Belgian, and have lived in Belgium since December 1999. Cooking is my major hobby. I'm also an avid reader, but I have difficulty finding the time. I love to travel. Since moving to Europe I've been lucky enough to have had the opportunity to go a couple of times per year to Paris, as well as having visited London, Rome, Florence, Naples, Amsterdam, and of course Brussels and Antwerp. I've seen at least parts of most regions of France, as well as parts of Germany, Austria, a great deal of Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia, Luxembourg, and Monaco. I'm absolutely in love with the Bay of Naples and Sorrento coast areas of Italy, which my husband and I recently re-visited on a trip that included Rome, Puglia, Umbria and Marche. I'm still looking forward to Ireland, Spain, Portugal, the Czech Republic . . . the list is too long ! One of the bonuses of travel is getting to taste the local cuisine, and afterward trying to figure out how to duplicate it at home.
I think cooking is one of the nicest things a person can do for someone they love (including themself!)
I had to submit a picture with me and my cat, Sophie, as she insists on sitting in my lap when I'm sitting at the computer. If you are wondering what all that stuff hanging on the wall behind us in the photo is, it is just a small part of my husband's military medal collection. He was appalled by my posting this picture-- Our study is the messiest room in our house (thank god!)
