Estofao de patatas a lo pobre

Estofao de patatas a lo pobre is one of those traditional stews from Albanchez de Mágina that comes from humble, resourceful cooking, closely linked to the cold months and everyday life in the sierra. Made with potatoes slowly stewed in a short broth, it is a simple yet flavourful dish, designed to comfort and nourish using basic pantry ingredients.

Its preparation begins with a traditional vegetable sofrito, to which paprika and bread are added, giving the stew thickness and that distinctive flavour of old-fashioned home cooking. In some households, it is enriched with chorizo or pork belly, although its essence remains in the simplicity of slowly cooked potatoes and in the value of a recipe passed down from generation to generation.

Cooked with Sierra Mágina PDO extra virgin olive oil, this dish reflects the gastronomic identity of Albanchez de Mágina: a warm, rural cuisine deeply connected to the olive groves, the land and the rhythms of country life.
