the devil’s potatoes
(1 rating)
This is a treat for potato and chile lovers. It’s important to use a good olive oil because it is very much a part of the dish. I use large new potatoes, which have an almost creamy texture and absorb the olive oil well, but if you can use any potatoes. It will work with almost anything. Serves 4Unknown Source
