Take your everyday potato and add flavor. This Spanish potato dish is easy to make and will delight your dinner guests. This recipe may even replace mashed potatoes at my Thanksgiving table.
In a large heavy skillet, cook bacon until well done and crisp. Remove from skillet. Drain on paper towel. Crumble and reserve.
Pour off drippings and add peppers to skillet where you cooked the bacon. Cook 5 minutes or until liquid has evaporated.
Add tomatoes, olives, powders, water and potatoes. Bring to boiling and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes or until fork-tender. Stir in capers.
Let stand 5 minutes to allow liquids to absorb. Stir in crumbled bacon and serve. Add more capers for garnish if desired.
Serve warm with green vegetable. (Also may be served at room temperature on a bed of green salad)
What are capers?
Most of us have heard of capers but many of us have never used them in a recipes. Roughly speaking, capers add a lemon peppery taste to your dish and are used in many Mediterranean recipes. I always love when TV chefs talk about capers like it is something we have just laying around in our kitchens. Don't be embarrassed if you have never used capers. This potato recipe is your chance to try capers. They really do make a difference!

BloggerJoe, the recipe is awesome but the picture is really bad. Invest in a better camera dude! I made these before and they really are quite delicious. Bacon and capers go well together.
Sorry about the pic. I didn’t have my good camera that day. 🙂
