Ingredients:

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized cubes
  • Olive oil, for frying
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to your preferred level of spiciness)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

  1. Start by parboiling the potato cubes in a pot of salted water for about 5 minutes. This will help create a crispy exterior while keeping the inside soft and tender.
  2. While the potatoes are parboiling, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant.
  3. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir well to combine all the flavors. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
  4. Drain the parboiled potatoes and pat them dry using a paper towel.
  5. In a separate frying pan, heat a generous amount of olive oil over medium-high heat. Carefully add the potato cubes to the pan and fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy. Make sure to flip them occasionally for even frying.
  6. Once the potatoes are perfectly crispy, transfer them to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
  7. Serve the Patatas Bravas on a platter, drizzle the spicy tomato sauce over the crispy potatoes, and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of freshness.
  8. Dig in and enjoy the deliciousness of this Spanish delight!
