Recipe Information
Spanish Potatoes with Olive Sauce
Cultural Context
Spanish Potatoes with Olive Sauce, or Patatas con Salsa de Aceitunas, is a beloved dish in Spain, often served as a tapa or side. The combination of tender potatoes with a flavorful olive sauce showcases the Mediterranean's love for simple, quality ingredients. This dish reflects the Spanish culinary tradition of using fresh produce and vibrant flavors, making it a staple in both home kitchens and restaurants across the country. Today, variations exist worldwide, adapting the classic recipe to local tastes.
green olives
🥗Healthier: kalamata olives
💰Cheaper: canned black olives
Kalamata olives offer a similar flavor profile, while canned black olives are often more affordable.
olive oil
🥗Healthier: avocado oil
💰Cheaper: vegetable oil
Avocado oil is healthier with a higher smoke point, while vegetable oil is a budget-friendly option.
Add 1 kg of baby potatoes into a colander and rinse under water.
If using regular sized potatoes, cut them into large bite-sized pieces. Leave skins on for more nutrients and flavor, or peel if preferred.
Cut each potato in half to end up with large bite-sized pieces.
Add the chopped potatoes into a stockpot in a flat layer and fill with just enough water to barely cover the potatoes.
Season generously with sea salt and heat on high.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat a fry pan over medium heat and add 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil (30 ml).
After a couple of minutes, add 4 cloves of thinly sliced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to brown it.
Turn off the heat and drain a jar of green pitted olives into a colander, shaking off excess liquid (using a 12 oz jar, about 340 g).
Transfer the olives into a food processor along with 2 tbsp of drained capers (15 g), 1 clove of sautéed garlic, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, and 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (15 ml).
Season with a kiss of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, then run the food processor for 15 to 20 seconds until finely chopped.
Add 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil (60 ml) to the mixture and run the food processor for another 15 seconds until incorporated.
Check the potatoes after 20 to 25 minutes; pierce with a toothpick to ensure they are cooked through. If not, boil longer.
Reserve some of the potato cooking water, then drain the potatoes into a colander.
Add the drained potatoes back into the stockpot.
Add about 1/4 cup of the reserved potato cooking water (60 ml) to the olive sauce and mix in the food processor for 5 to 10 seconds until well combined.
Transfer the olive sauce into the stockpot with the potatoes and gently toss until all potatoes are coated in the sauce.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with some olives and fresh parsley.
