Ingredients
- 4-6 medium potatoes (about 800 g)
- 2-3 sprigs of leek
- 1-2 kapia peppers
- 100 g bacon
- 100 g spinach (preferably fresh, but frozen is a good option)
- 2-3 cloves garlic
- Salt (to taste)
- Olive oil (for frying)
- Sweet paprika (or spicy, depending on preference)

Nutritional benefits
This recipe is not only delicious but also nutritious. Potatoes are an excellent source of complex carbohydrates and vitamins, while spinach provides a good dose of iron, vitamins A and C. Bacon adds extra flavor, but you can opt for a healthier version using turkey or tofu if you prefer a vegetarian alternative.
Preparation step by step
1. Preparing the ingredients
Start by peeling the potatoes, leeks, garlic and kapia pepper. Cut the potatoes into large cubes (about 2-3 cm) to cook evenly. Cut the leeks into rounds and the kapia pepper into thin strips. Press or mince the garlic.
2. Cooking Potatoes
You can choose to either steam or boil the potatoes. If you choose steaming, place the potatoes in a steaming pot on the heat for about 10 minutes, until slightly tender. If you prefer boiling, put them in a pot of salted water and boil for 10-12 minutes. Try not to overcook them as you want to keep a consistent texture.
3. Preparing vegetables in a wok
In a wok (or deep frying pan), pour a little olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the pressed garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn. Then add the leeks and chopped kapia pepper, stirring constantly. Add thinly sliced bacon and cook over medium heat until the vegetables are tender and the bacon is browned. This process will add fantastic flavor and saltiness to the dish.
4. Combining the ingredients
Once the vegetables have cooked, add the previously prepared potatoes. Mix well to combine all the ingredients, then season with salt and add paprika to taste. Add the coarsely chopped spinach and continue to cook over a high heat for a few minutes, until the spinach is softened and incorporated into the mixture.
5. Finalizing the preparation
Once everything is well mixed and browned, turn off the heat. Sprinkle finely chopped green parsley on top for added freshness and flavor. Allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serving and Variations
The bo boiled potatoes are served hot, straight from the wok, to retain all the intense flavors and aromas. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of cream to intensify the flavor. These potatoes pair well with a fresh green salad or garlic yoghurt sauce for a nice contrast of flavors.
To add a touch of creativity, experiment with different ingredients. Substitute bacon with some mushrooms for a vegetarian option or add feta cheese for a salty, creamy touch. You can also try using seasonal vegetables, adapting the recipe to your culinary preferences.
