Recipe of Potatoes to importance

Vida Recetas Editorial

Potatoes to importance (patatas a la importancia) is a traditional Spanish dish, especially popular in Castilla y León. It is a simple but flavorful recipe where potatoes are breaded and cooked in an almond sauce. They are perfect for a comforting lunch or dinner, with a tender inside and crispy outside that makes them irresistible.

How are they prepared?

First, peel and cut the potatoes into 1 cm slices, coat them in flour and beaten egg. Then fry them until golden. Separately, make a paste with garlic, almonds, parsley, salt, and pepper, and sauté it in the same oil. Add a tablespoon of flour and, when toasted, add water or broth (optionally with a splash of milk). Add the potatoes and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until tender.

Variations and tips

  • You can add a chicken stock cube for extra flavor.
  • If you prefer a smoother sauce, blend the paste before adding it.
  • Serve hot, sprinkled with fresh parsley.
