SPANISH TAPAS: LA DEU HOMESTYLE POTATOES
4 servings
La Deu is a restaurant in an old farmhouse in Olot that has included this family recipe on its menu for decades. A former, food-loving mayor of Olot used to sing its praises at every opportunity to such an extent that, over the years, it became a local classic.
8 medium potatoes
3.5ozs minced beef
3.5ozs minced pork
1 medium onion
1lb 2ozs ripe tomatoes
Flour
Milk
1 egg
Olive oil
Salt
Peel potatoes, and slice finely. Fry in olive oil, drain and set aside. For the filling, first brown the minced meat in a little oil. In a separate pan, sauté the peeled and seeded tomatoes together with the chopped onion. Add the meat and bind everything together with a thick béchamel sauce made with the milk and flour. Take two potato slices at a time and place a little stuffing between them. Coat with beaten egg and fry until they turn an attractive golden brown. Drain and serve.
