Pickled potatoes
Pickled potatoes are a typical dish from the north of Extremadura, a region known for the olive oil of the Sierra de Gata, paprika de la Vera and cherries from Valle del Jerte.
But this area of Spain also stands out for its wide variety of escabeche recipes, a kind of marinade to flavor the food that has its origins in Arabic cuisine, and that has also been used to preserve food.
Although pickled potatoes are a tradition to prepare, especially during Lent and during Holy Week, they are ideal for the hottest months due to the coolness of their ingredients and the way they are served, which is cold.
This makes them perfect for consumption outside the home, either on field trips or at work, because they do not need to be heated and, in addition, pickling keeps them in optimal conditions for longer.
As for the nutrients they provide, these potatoes are very rich in carbohydrates that provide us with energy, and also in fiber , vitamin C , potassium , calcium , phosphorus , magnesium and, in smaller quantities, in beta-carotene .

- Step 1We wash the potatoes well to remove the soil and put them in a pot with plenty of water. We let them cook for 30 minutes and put out the fire.
- Step 2We take a clean kitchen cloth and take the potatoes, one by one. We peel them hot and chafamos with the help of the cloth so as not to burn ourselves. We put them on the table or in the marble on a tablecloth or clean kitchen cloth, and we put them all letting them cool and then fry them.
- Step 3In a bowl, we toss the flour Yolanda and add a little water to form a thick mass, stirring with a spoon so that the water mixes well with the flour. We reserve
- Step 4In a deep pan, we put enough oil and put it to heat. When it is hot, we go over the potatoes in the mixture of flour and water and we are frying them in batches, leaving them to brown on both sides. When they are golden brown, we remove them with a slotted spoon and place them carefully in a large pot.
- Step 5In another pot, take a couple of tablespoons of the oil in which we fried the potatoes, add the vinegar, turmeric, salt and water. We put it in the fire and, when it breaks to boil, throw it on the potatoes so that they are covered.
- Step 6Add the bay leaves and garlic to the pot and let it cool, stirring the pot from time to time, carefully, so that the potatoes are taking the flavor. Once the potatoes have cooled completely, we serve them.
