Instructions:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a Dutch oven (or a deep pan with a lid) over medium-high heat.

Notes:
This recipe usually contains olives, but I left them out. Just a personal preference. If you would like to use them add 1/2 cup green olives w/ pimentos the same time you add the potatoes.
