    Start by peeling and cutting the potatoes into thick slices.

    In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add 150 grams of bacon and cook until crispy. This should take about 5 minutes.

    Add the chopped onion (1 piece), minced garlic (2 cloves), and diced bell pepper (1 piece) to the mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

    Stir in 1 teaspoon of paprika and mix well.

    Add the sliced potatoes and 500 milliliters of chicken broth to the pot. Stir everything together to combine.
