• 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 dried ancho chile
• 1 bay leaf
• 14 cup olive oil
• 1 onion, minced
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 teaspoons paprika

1. Cook potatoes in a pot of water with dried ancho chili and bay leaf; bring to a boil and cook 20 minutes.
2. In a saute pan brown the onion slowly in the olive oil.
3. The orginal recipe had a lot more oil; I scaled it back.
4. Add garlic and paprika last.
5. Drain potatoes, saving liquid; discard chili and bay leaf.
6. Add onion; mix and add a little water if needed.
