Techniques
  • 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
Heat a large fry pan over medium heat with the olive oil.
  • 2 slices baguette
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 12 whole raw blanched almonds
Cut two one-inch slices from a baguette, peel six cloves of garlic and reserve twelve blanched almonds.
Fry the bread, garlic and almonds 3 to 4 minutes until lightly golden, then remove and set aside.
  • 1 kg potatoes
Cut the peeled potatoes into 2 cm bite sized pieces.
In the same pan at the same heat, add the potatoes and toss to coat in the oil.
Fry the potatoes about 10 minutes, stirring every 2 to 3 minutes, until lightly golden but not cooked through.
Put the fried bread, garlic and almonds in a tall beaker with the chopped parsley, a pinch of sea salt and 1 cup of water.
  • 8 g chopped parsley
  • sea salt
  • 240 ml water
Blend with a hand blender to a thin puree.
  • 5 g sweet smoked Spanish paprika
  • 2 g ground cumin
  • sea salt
  • freshly cracked black pepper
Add the smoked paprika and ground cumin to the potatoes, season with sea salt and black pepper and mix quickly.
  • water
Add the puree and enough water to barely cover, raise to high heat and bring to a boil.
Cover, lower to low medium heat and simmer 10 to 15 minutes until the potatoes are just cooked through.

  • fresh parsley
Plate the potatoes and garnish with hard boiled eggs and fresh parsley.
