Potatoes with Cebolada (Portuguese Spicy Onion Sauce) are not your average boiled potatoes by any means. These potatoes pair perfectly with grilled or fried fish (click here). This recipe is versatile so you control the spice level, by increasing or decreasing how much pimenta moida (hot pepper paste) you use. Once the onion, garlic and hot pepper paste is sautéed in the olive oil and then topped up with the white wine, it creates a delicious spicy onion sauce. Then the sauce is poured onto the potatoes that immediately absorb all the delicious flavors. Just like that, the once bland boiled potatoes are now packed with flavor! They are even more delicious the next day….if there are any leftovers that is.
