Peppers instead of tomatoes compliment fluffy potatoes in this Spanish tapas dish with a twist.
Ingredients
- handful of small potatoes, skin on
- 200 g roasted red peppers (from a 400 g jar), plus half the oil
- squirt of sriracha
- pinch of dried oregano
- 1 spring onion, roughly chopped
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
Method
Cook the potatoes in a pan of salted boiling water for about 15 minutes until soft. Drain and let them steam for a bit to dry out.
Transfer the potatoes to a frying pan and squash each one slightly with the back of a fork to break the skins and expose the fluffy middle. Season and fry the potatoes in a generous glug of olive oil for about 20 minutes until crispy all over.
Meanwhile, to make the sauce, grab a blender and add the roasted red peppers, along with the oil from the jar, the sriracha, oregano and a pinch of salt. Blend and then pour into the pan with the potatoes. Simmer for a couple of minutes to warm the sauce, then add the chopped spring onion and some cracked black pepper, and serve.

“Instead of the usual tomato-based sauce, here I’ve switched it up to a roasted red pepper sauce with a spicy kick.
