Patatas a lo pobre (lit.'poor man's potatoes') is a simple potato dish from Andalusian cuisine. To make the dish thinly sliced potatoes are fried in olive oil to a very soft consistency (like confit potatoes) with onion. Then the oil is drained and garlic, parsley and vinegar are added to the hot frying pan to season the finished dish.[1][2] They can also be served with an egg (con huevo).[1] Some other ingredients like bell peppers, garlic and wine vinegar can be used.[3]
