To prepare a delicious side dish of potatoes with onions and pepper paste, we start by peeling the potatoes. It is important to choose quality potatoes that are firm and free from spots or green areas. After peeling, we wash them well under a stream of cold water to remove any impurities. The next step is to cut them into uniform cubes so that they cook evenly.
In a suitable pot, we place the potato cubes and cover them with cold water. We add a teaspoon of salt, which will help flavor the potatoes during boiling. We put the pot on medium heat and let it boil for about 20 minutes. It is good to check the consistency of the potatoes with a fork; when it penetrates easily, the potatoes are ready. After boiling, we drain them and set them aside.
Meanwhile, we start preparing the sauce that will accompany the potatoes. In a deep skillet, we add the oil and heat it over medium heat. When the oil is hot, we add the julienned onion. It will acquire a sweet aroma and a pleasant texture after sautéing for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid burning. Once the onion becomes translucent, we add the pepper paste, which will provide an intense flavor and vibrant color to our dish. We let the mixture cook for another minute, ensuring that it combines well.
Finally, we add the boiled potatoes to the skillet. We gently mix to combine all the ingredients, being careful not to crush the potatoes. We adjust the salt and add a teaspoon of sweet paprika for an extra touch of flavor and color. We continue to stir gently until all the ingredients are well incorporated and the potatoes are evenly coated with the sauce.
To add a touch of freshness, we sprinkle finely chopped green parsley on top. Its aroma will perfectly complement the dish. Our side dish of potatoes with onions and pepper paste is now ready to serve! It can successfully accompany any main course, being both delicious and colorful. Enjoy this simple yet flavorful dish with great pleasure!
