Method
Potatoes
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Season the Potatoes
In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Bake the Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
Spicy Tomato Sauce
Add Garlic and Tomatoes
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Then, add the crushed tomatoes, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and sugar. Stir to combine.
Simmer the Sauce
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.
Aioli
Prepare the Aioli
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well until smooth.
Chill the Aioli
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
