Patatas bravas, which translates to "brave potatoes," are crispy, fried potatoes topped with a spicy tomato sauce. This dish is a staple in Spanish tapas bars and is beloved for its bold flavors and satisfying crunch.
To start, gather the following ingredients:
- 2 pounds of potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes
- Olive oil for frying
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup of tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup of chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar
First, heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
While the potatoes are frying, prepare the spicy tomato sauce. In a separate saucepan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, paprika, and cayenne pepper, and cook for another 2 minutes.
Next, add the tomato sauce, chicken or vegetable broth, and white wine vinegar to the saucepan. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.
Once the potatoes are crispy and the sauce is ready, it's time to assemble your patatas bravas. Arrange the fried potatoes on a serving platter and drizzle the spicy tomato sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley or a sprinkle of smoked paprika for an extra pop of color and flavor.
Serve your patatas bravas hot and enjoy the irresistible combination of crispy potatoes and spicy sauce. This dish is perfect for sharing with friends and family, or as a savory snack to enjoy on your own.
