Peppers and potatoes are called pipi e patati in the Calabrian dialect.
These are the protagonists of a perfect side dish, a simple and quick recipe and, of course, very tasty.

This dish used to be considered poor people’s food. Today you can enjoy it as a vegetarian side dish of the typical Calabrian cuisine.

Pipi e patati tastes very good served hot, but it can also satisfy every palate when it is lukewarm.
And inside a panino con la salsiccia (sandwich with Italian sausage)? It tastes great!

The main secret of its success is the slowly cooking of all the ingredients together, so they can mix well.
