What is Boiled Potatoes?
Sulu patates is a Turkish potato stew, usually made by simmering chunks of potato with onion and tomato paste in a savoury, lightly sauced broth. It may be cooked with meat or kept meat-free, depending on the household.
The potatoes turn tender and take on the flavour of the sauce, which is often spooned up with bread. In Turkey, it is a familiar home-cooked lunch or dinner, commonly served with rice, bread or yoghurt; English-speaking readers may also enjoy it as a simple one-pot meal alongside a salad. Potatoes make it mainly a carbohydrate-based dish, with some fibre, while the amount of oil and any meat affect its overall richness. For a lighter version, use modest oil and add vegetables such as carrots or peas.

Frequently Asked Questions About Boiled Potatoes
What is sulu patates?
Sulu patates is a Turkish potato stew, not simply boiled potatoes. It is usually simmered with onion, tomato paste or tomatoes, and water until the potatoes are tender; some versions also include meat or other vegetables.
How do you make sulu patates?
To make sulu patates, soften chopped onion in a little oil, stir in tomato paste, then add potato chunks and hot water. Simmer gently until the potatoes are tender, taking care not to stir them so much that they break apart.
What meat goes in sulu patates?
Beef or lamb cubes are common additions to sulu patates. Brown the meat with the onion first and cook it until nearly tender before adding the potatoes, so the potatoes do not turn mushy while the meat finishes cooking.
What do you serve with sulu patates?
Sulu patates is often served with rice or bulgur pilaf, bread, and a simple salad or yogurt. The stew’s tomato-rich broth is especially good with bread, while a fresh side adds contrast to the soft potatoes.
How do you keep potatoes from falling apart in sulu patates?
Use larger, evenly cut potato chunks and simmer sulu patates gently rather than boiling it hard. Add the potatoes after meat, if using, has softened, and avoid frequent stirring; the dish is ready when a fork can pierce them.
Can you make sulu patates without tomato paste?
Yes, sulu patates can be made without tomato paste. Use chopped fresh tomatoes for a lighter, fresher broth, or leave out tomato ingredients and season the onion-and-potato stew with herbs and spices instead.
How do you thicken sulu patates?
Mash a few cooked potato pieces into the broth to thicken sulu patates without adding flour. If the stew is simply too watery, simmer it uncovered for a short time so some liquid evaporates.
Can you make sulu patates in a slow cooker?
Yes, sulu patates can be cooked in a slow cooker. Soften the onion and tomato paste in a pan first for a deeper flavor, then add them with the potatoes and enough liquid; cook just until the potatoes are tender.
How long does sulu patates last in the fridge?
Sulu patates keeps for about three days in the refrigerator when cooled and stored in a covered container. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, and heat it thoroughly on the stove or in the microwave.
Can you freeze sulu patates?
Yes, but freezing can make the potatoes in sulu patates soft and crumbly after thawing. Freeze it in airtight portions, thaw it in the refrigerator, and reheat gently so the potato pieces do not break up further.
