Potatoes

Method

Preparing the Potatoes

  1. 1

    Peel and Chop the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Potatoes

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss well to ensure all potatoes are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat a deep frying pan over medium-high heat and add the potato cubes. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Drain and Keep Warm

    Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Keep them warm while you prepare the sauce.

Making the Spicy Tomato Sauce

  1. 5

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion, sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 6

    Add Tomato Puree and Spices

    Stir in the tomato puree, red chili flakes, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

  3. 7

    Finish the Sauce

    Once the sauce has thickened, remove it from heat and stir in chopped parsley for freshness.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the crispy potatoes on a platter and drizzle the spicy tomato sauce generously over the top.

  2. 9

    Garnish

    Optional: Garnish with additional parsley or serve with a side of aioli for dipping.
