Ingredients

  • 2 lbs (900g) potatoes (such as Maris Piper or Russet)
  • 1 large brown or white onion
  • ½ cup (70g) green olives
  • 2 tablespoons capers jarred in brine
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1.5 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into medium to small-sized cubes. Put them in a bowl of cold water to soak for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the vinegar and sugar in a small bowl and set aside, then finely slice the onion.
  • Drain the potatoes and dry them thoroughly in a clean kitchen towel.

  • Add 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil to a large pan on a medium heat. Add the potatoes to the pan and fry them until slightly golden (about 20-25 minutes).

  • Once golden, add the sliced onions with a good pinch of salt and pepper and stir to combine. Cover the pan with a lid and cook on medium-low until the potatoes and onions are cooked through (about 15-20 minutes). Give it a stir from time to time to make sure it doesn't catch on the bottom.
