3. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan and sauté the onions until translucent. Add the tomato paste and sauté. Gradually add the potatoes and fold in with a spoon, mashing them. Gradually add the olive oil and stir in. The potato mixture should still contain pieces of potato and not be too finely mashed. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. A perfect side dish for grilling or roasted meat.
