Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the peeled and cut potatoes in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil.
- Cook the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes until they are just tender but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.
- Spread the parboiled potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1/4 cup of the olive oil (approx. 60g), and toss to coat.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
- While the potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil (approx. 20g) in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped red onion and cook for about 5-7 minutes until translucent and softened.
- Add the minced garlic, chili powder, and paprika. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently until aromatic.
- Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and the flavors to meld.
- Add the canned tomatoes and dried oregano to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
- Once the potatoes are roasted to a golden crisp, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
- Pour the tomato sauce over the crispy potatoes, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.
- Enjoy your Patatas Bravas hot, ideally as a tapas dish or a hearty side. Pair it with aioli or a garlic mayo for an extra indulgence.
Tips:
- For extra crispiness, make sure to dry the potatoes thoroughly before frying.
- If you want to add more heat, increase the amount of chili powder or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Use a high-quality olive oil to enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
- You can prepare the tomato sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator to save time.
- Try serving with aioli or a garlic mayo for added flavor.
