Step by Step guide

Step 1

Set aside 1 tablespoon of flour, and place the rest in a wide bowl. Beat the eggs in another bowl. Slice the potatoes into 5 mm thick pieces and season with salt. Heat the oil in a deep skillet to 356°F. Fry the potatoes, dipping the slices in the egg mixture and coating them in flour, in batches until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel.

Step 2

Once all the potatoes are fried, place them in a heatproof pot with thick walls and bottom. Crush the garlic in a mortar with a pinch of salt and saffron, then add 2 tablespoons of water and mix.

Step 3

Pour 3 tablespoons of oil into a saucepan, add finely chopped onion, and sauté, stirring, for 8–10 minutes until the onion is golden. Stir in 1 tablespoon of flour and cook for another 2–3 minutes, then add the garlic with saffron and 1 liter of water. Season with salt. Strain the mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle with finely chopped parsley and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes.
