Spain´s Best-Kept Potato Recipe | Spanish Zarangollo Extremeño

This Spanish Zarangollo Extremeño is Spain´s Best-Kept Potato Recipe. We´re talking potatoes that are fried in extra virgin olive oil and then topped off with roasted red bell peppers and a garlicky tomato sauce.

Serve these delicious potatoes as a tapas appetizer, like they do in the region of Extremadura or even as a side dish. Next to some grilled fish and a bottle of Spanish wine.

To make this recipe, I used new potatoes. But you can use any potatoes you like. I also used extra virgin olive oil to fry the potatoes, as stated above. However, you can use other types of oil. But by using extra virgin, is what gives this dish that amazing flavor.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: You can serve these potatoes warm or at room temperature. They will hold in the fridge for up 3 to 5 days, in an air-tight container.
