How to Make Basque Style Potatoes

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 red pimento pepper, finely chopped, and 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Add 1 pound small red potatoes, quartered; 1/2 cup chicken broth; and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir to coat.
  5. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and the liquid has reduced slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) before serving.
