From Cookipedia
Riojan potatoes are usually served as a tapa, but can be used as a first course or accompaniment.
Ingredients
- 1 onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- Olive oil
- 8 Cloves of garlic, peeled and chopped
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt
- 1 kg waxy new potatoes, washed and chopped
- 1 kg pork chops, pre-cooked, boned and cut into bite size pieces
- 2 cooking chorizos, sliced
- 1 green chilli, chopped (and seeded if desires)

- Water
- Parsley, chopped (to garnish)
Method
- Gently sauté the onion and green pepper in some oil, together with the garlic, bayleaf and a little salt.
- Add the potatoes, chops and chorizo.
- Cover with water and add the chilli and paprika.
- Allow to cook gently for about 40 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley.
Variations
Not all recipes include pork so if you wish to leave them out, add some extra chorizo.
For a spicier version, use hot smoked paprika and as usual, you can adjust the amount of garlic.
Chef's notes
Try not to let the potatoes over-cook or they will disintegrate. If you cannot get waxy potatoes, then use others but add them about 10 minutes later than the recipe states. --JuliaBalbilla 07:33, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Follow the RSPCA Think Pig Checklist to make sure that your pork has come from pigs that have been reared to higher welfare standards.
