Tender, crisp-skin Spanish-Style Potatoes in a delicious, thick Tomato Sauce to serve as a side dish to just about any main meal

Potatoes are another staple in our house and we love potatoes just about any way it can be prepared, from mashed potatoes to baked to side dishes like these Spanish-Style Potatoes, which is so flavorful and saucy.

Not any kind of sauce, a thick, very rich tomato sauce, which you can also drizzle over any other side vegetables.

Prepping should take you less than 15 minutes and whilst the Potatoes are cooking, you can get the sauce going and have it all ready, and still hot, at the same time.

All that is left is some layering and a sprinkling of Spring Onions which adds not only a delicious flavor, but makes the dish very colorful as well.

I would take a short-cut every once in a while when I am pressed for time, by cooking the Potatoes, whole – but pricked several times with a fork – in my pressure cooker. Most of the time the Potatoes are ready before the sauce.

But, I would only recommend boiling (pressure-cooker or saucepan) if you have no other choice. Baking the Potatoes are so much better and crispy, which you would not get from plain old boiling.

The fresher and younger the Baby Potatoes the better. My family have only fallen in love with Potatoes skin on, a couple of years ago, but if you like serving them peeled, it would be just as great.
