Potatoes with bacon

Today I want to surprise you with a very typical spanish recipe, surely we all have ever tasted, so it's time to prepare it at home, it's very simple!

Ingredients for 2 servings:
- 2 large potatoes
- 1 package of bacon 
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Olive oil

Recipe:
- In a pot, put to cook the potatoes with water, a pinch of salt and a bay leaf until soft. Reserve water (not bay).
- Peel the potatoes and flatten with a fork to form a puree.
- Cut the bacon into pieces (each strip into 5-6 parts).
- Peel and cut the garlic into slices.
- In a skillet with a little olive oil, fry over medium heat until golden.
- Remove the pan a moment from heat and add the paprika while you remove continuously to prevent sticking.
- Add a little cooking water from the potatoes to cool paprika.
- Put back the frying pan and let boil for one minute.
- Pour this oil with paprika and garlic over the potatoes and stir well.
- It should have a texture of puree, if they are dry you can add a little more water from cooking the potatoes to the pan to tap the paprika, boil another minute and add it to the potatoes until you have the desired texture.
- In another pan with a little olive oil, fry the bacon over low heat in the part of the skin until it has bubbles and then, fry on each side to crisp.
- When ready, place them on absorbent paper to remove excess oil and then add them to the mash potatoes.
