Portuguese term or phrase: batata brava
I know in Spain there's something similar usually translated as spicy potatoes, but I don't know if it has the same meaning in Portuguese.

This is for a menu and the dish is: 'Lombo de Bacalhau Fresco com Crosta de Broa e Coentros com Salteado de Batata Brava'

Thanks in advance for your help!

Acabei por escolher Spicy Potatoes na mesma, uma vez que o termo original pode ter sido trazido do espanhol. Quanto ao salteado, agradeço, mas sei o que é, a minha questão eram mesmo as batatas. :)

agree  Andrea Shah: Agreed - in tapas restaurants in the States, the name is usually not translated from the Spanish. (See also: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2011/mar...

  -> thanks, I agree, they keep it in Spanish and I would keep it too, the other option 'spicy potatoes' may not be so specific.
