Cut potatoes: Wash and clean the potatoes very well. You can leave them unpeeled, but make sure they are very clean. Halve or cut them into thick slices, depending on size.2 lbs small new potatoes/ 1 kg
Saute: Chop the onion finely. Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet or a non-stick pan. Cook the onions on medium-low heat until translucent.1 large onion + 2 tablespoons olive oil
Add the potatoes and the tomato paste, stir well, and cook them for about 2 minutes, stirring often.1 tablespoon tomato paste
Simmer: Add tomato sauce and vegetable broth, some salt, and pepper. Mix well, turn the heat to low, and cover the pot leaving a small crack open. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring several times in between until the potatoes are tender. Add a little bit more vegetable broth if the dish becomes too dry; I added about half a cup more vegetable broth.1 cup tomato sauce/ 250 ml + 1 ¼ cup vegetable broth/ 300 ml + fine sea salt and pepper
Finish: Grate the garlic cloves, add them to the skillet, stir well, and cook for a further 2 minutes. Serve hot. 2 large garlic cloves
Notes
Regular potatoes can be substituted. Cut them into chunks.
