Patatas Bravas Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Potatoes

Peel and cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Rinse them in cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.

2

Fry the Potatoes

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the potatoes and fry until golden and crispy, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3

Season the Potatoes

Once the potatoes are crispy, sprinkle paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over them. Stir well to coat the potatoes evenly and cook for another 2 minutes.

4

Prepare the Spicy Tomato Sauce

In a small saucepan, combine the tomato sauce and red chili flakes. Heat over medium heat until warm, stirring occasionally.

5

Serve

Transfer the crispy potatoes to a serving dish. Drizzle the spicy tomato sauce over the top and serve with aioli on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley.
