I have always liked to investigate about the gastronomic culture of cities or countries. Here I present to you some legs called “Patatas Macho”. They were created by an innkeeper from Cartagena called “Paco El Macho”. The people of the time say that between the 50’s and 80’s they were sold like hot cakes in a bodega in the center of Cartagena. Its preparation is very simple. Small to medium-sized potatoes are boiled in their skins and left to cool. Apart, a mixture of chilli peppers, salt, garlic, hot paprika and oil is made and fried in a large frying pan and then the peeled potatoes are added, turning them a few times so that they take the color and flavor of the mixture and are served with bread and wine or beer.

Siempre me ha gustado investigar sobre la cultura gastronómica de las ciudades o paÃses. Aquà os presento a unas patas que se llaman “Patatas Macho”. Las creó un hostelero de Cartagena llamado “Paco El Macho”. Cuenta la gente de la época que entre los años 50 y 80 se vendÃan como churros en una bodega del centro de Cartagena. Su elaboración es muy sencilla. Se cuecen unas patatas entre pequeñas y medianas con la piel y se dejan enfriar. Aparte, se hace un majado de guindillas, sal, ajos, pimentón picante y aceite, se sofrÃe en una sartén amplia y enseguida se le añaden las patatas peladas, se les da unas vueltas para que cojan el color y el sabor del majado y se sirven con pan y vino o cerveza.

This is such a great story. I love when dishes carry the memory of a time and place with them.
