Potatoes

Method

Preparing the Potatoes

  1. 1

    Wash and Cut the Potatoes

    Wash the Yukon Gold potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Cut each potato into 1-inch cubes.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes until slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain the potatoes and let them cool.

  3. 3

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a large skillet, heat 1 cup of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the boiled potatoes in batches, frying them until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper.

Making the Spicy Tomato Sauce

  1. 4

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  2. 5

    Add Tomato Ingredients

    Stir in the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, sugar, and vinegar. Mix well and bring the sauce to a simmer.

  3. 6

    Simmer the Sauce

    Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together. Stir occasionally.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving platter, arrange the crispy potatoes and drizzle the spicy tomato sauce over them. Serve hot.
