Authentic home cooking from Spain, with US measurements. 
Potato, Ham, Cheese, and Egg Skewers
A 'pincho' (or 'pintxo' in Basque) is a small slice of bread topped with a small portion of food, traditionally held together with a toothpick—though that's not always required. In this version, there's no bread; instead, it's built on a slice of potato. Pinchos are especially associated with Basque cuisine, often enjoyed as an appetizer with a glass of red wine (called txikito) or a small glass of beer (zurito). I first tried this pincho at a tavern and loved it. I promised myself I’d make it at home, and when I remembered it the other day, I finally did—and it turned out even better than the one I tried! I highly recommend it as an appetizer or starter, whether for yourself or for guests—they’ll love it. Another one to add to my collection of published pinchos.

- 1
Boil the potato until tender. Remove, let cool, peel, and cut into 1/4-inch (about 0.5 cm) slices. Set aside.
- 2
Boil the egg for 10 minutes. Once done, place it in cold water to make peeling easier. When cooled, peel and set aside.
- 3
Finely chop both peppers and mix them in a bowl.
- 4
Finely chop the onion, add it to the peppers, and mix together.
- 5
Place two slices of potato on the serving plate.
- 6
Cut the ham and cheese slices in half, then fold each piece over itself.
- 7
Layer the folded ham and cheese on top of the potato slices.
- 8
Place two more potato slices on top of the ham and cheese. Lightly salt them (not too much, as the vinaigrette will add more salt).
- 9
Cut the egg in half and place each half on top of the potatoes. To keep them in place, secure each with a skewer or toothpick.
- 10
Season the chopped vegetables with salt, add a splash of vinegar and olive oil to taste, and mix well. It's best to prepare the vinaigrette ahead of time and keep it chilled for extra flavor.
- 11
Spoon the vinaigrette over the skewers, using as much as you like. Personally, I love it and add plenty. All that's left is to enjoy!
