Note:
The potato is a tuber belonging to the nightshade family. It is believed that there are more than 5,000 varieties, and they are native to the Andes. A potato is made up of 80% water. In addition, it has a high starch content, minerals such as potassium, and vitamins from groups A, B, and C. Cubans consume a lot of potatoes whenever possible, and we have a wide variety of recipes that include them. On this occasion, we present a healthy and economical way to prepare them; they will make an ideal side dish for meats, fish, or even with a good fried egg.
Ingredients:
  • 5 medium potatoes
  • 1 onion
  • ¼ teaspoon of oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
Instructions:

Wash the potatoes and, if you wish, peel them, although they can also be eaten with their skin, especially varieties with thin skins. Cut them into slices of about 2 cm.

They should be cooked for approximately 25 minutes at a temperature of 200ºC. The time may vary depending on the thickness of the potato slices and the characteristics of each oven. When they acquire a golden color, poke them with a fork to check if they are ready.
