Potatoes Sicilian styled, a simple yet very rich side dish also known as potatoes alla siracusana. The name ‘styled’ conveys the concept better: A simple dish of potatoes made more appetizing enriched with olives, onions, and capers. Let’s go to Sicily, where even a simple side dish of potatoes becomes a super dish. The sugar and vinegar reveal it’s sweet and sour, a characteristic of many Sicilian dishes, also found in Caponata. You will find this recipe in the hot side dishes category, but in reality, this dish is equally delicious served cold, thanks to its sweet and sour flavor. On my blog.giallozafferano.itvaipinacucina, there will be other typical Sicilian recipes and more, including fish recipes that go well with Sicilian styled potatoes.

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
