Chop onion, paprika, and tomato into small cubes.

In a pan, heat some lard and sauté the chopped onion until it softens, then add the other vegetables.

Season with a bit of salt to help the onions release their moisture.

Add 1 tablespoon of paprika to the mixture, reducing the heat to prevent burning.

Once the base is coming together, add the potatoes and sweet potatoes to the mix.
