Peel the potatoes and cut into 1 cm cubes. Chop the garlic and parsley and mix well with the salt and the potato cubes. Oil a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, put the chicken pieces in it, season with salt and pepper. Spread the potato cubes in between, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and fill 5 mm high with water. Fry in the oven for about 1 1/4 hours. If the dish gets too dry, add some more hot water.
Since this is a rural dish in a mountainous landscape, pork lard is used instead of olive oil in the original recipe. In some recipes, a sprig of rosemary is used instead of parsley.
