romesco potatoes
Meet my new favorite potato dish. Oh, those were wonderful, weren’t they? And who doesn’t love ? And , they were a force to be reckoned with. But they’re dead to me, or they would be, if in some cruel parallel universe I was to choose only one way to eat potatoes from this day forth.

- 1 1/4 cups extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 slice country bread, about 1-inch thick

- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1/2 lemon, for juicing
- A splash of sherry vinegar (can’t find it? Use a mild wine or balsamic vinegar instead)

- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
