First cousin of other super recipes at the expense of squid —and its relatives— such as potatoes with cuttlefish or squid in American sauce, this great dish of squid with potatoes is the definitive excuse to get out of the Roman style squid.
Eye, we have nothing against them, but when you discover how easy it is to make this recipe and how tender the squids are (and the sauce they leave) you will be repeating it over and over again.
There is also no need to spend a lot of time or make too much effort, just buy a good squid, have some good sherry wine in the kitchen and, as on other occasions, crack the potatoes —as if they were Galician cachelos— to thicken the broth.
From there, sew and sing for a recipe that, as in so many other stews and casseroles, will win with a rest day when the flavors settle. If you have time, of course.
We clean and wash the squid if it was not. If not, we ask the fishmonger to remove the bag and the feather. At home it will suffice chop it into bite size.
In a wide and low saucepan, add a splash of oil and we seal the squidjust a couple of minutes, and we booked.
In that casserole we put the onion, the garlic and the peppers, chopped everything in brunoise and we fry it for about 10 minutes. Add the peppers, the bay leaf and the tomato, cooking for another 15 minutes and then add the mashed potatoes and the squid, frying for another couple of minutes.
We add the alcohols, let reduce and cover with the fumet or with the water, cooking over medium heat with the pan half covered until the squid is tender and the potatoes are done, about 25 minutes (although it will depend on the squid and the potato, so keep touching).
We serve hot after leaving a few minutes of rest.

With what to accompany the squid with potatoes
Second course with enough substancesometimes it can be used as a single dish, although if we cannot resist the seafaring temptation of squid and cuttlefish in season, we can open our mouths with a grilled cuttlefish or some good squid tails.
If we abandon the sea, like the recipe is powerfulwe can just give way to a good salad or enjoy some seasonal vegetables such as canned asparagus or prepare some baked artichokes, which are also great.
