Simple Patatas Bravas

potatoes

olive oil ()

sea salt

garlic powder

olive oil

onion

garlic ((minced))

tsp sea salt

paprika

cayenne pepper

garlic powder ((plus more for potatoes))

tomato paste*

hot sauce

water

Cheese

cilantro/parsley

Soak quartered potatoes in very hot water for 10-15 minutes. In the meantime, preheat oven to 450 degrees F (232 C).

Once potatoes are soaked, dry thoroughly and then add to a baking sheet with 1-2 Tbsp olive oil and a generous sprinkling of sea salt and garlic powder. Toss to coat.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, stirring/tossing once. Test by spearing a potato with a toothpick – it should be easy to pierce and remove.

While the potatoes are baking, prepare your spicy tomato sauce. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic and salt and stir. Cook for 7-8 minutes to slowly “sweat” until the mixture becomes translucent and very fragrant. If it begins brown, turn down the heat to low and stir frequently.

Add paprika, garlic powder, cayenne and stir. Then add tomato paste, hot sauce and water and stir. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until simmering and the flavors are well blended. Reduce heat if it begins to bubble too vigorously. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. I added more hot sauce, sea salt and garlic powder.

For a smooth sauce (which I prefer), puree in a small blender or food processor until smooth. Otherwise, set aside.

Remove potatoes from oven and sprinkle with a bit more salt to taste. Place in a serving dishes and drizzle with tomato sauce (as original recipe is written // adjust number of serving dishes if altering batch size). Optional additional toppings include vegan parmesan cheese, more hot sauce, and fresh herbs.

Patatas Bravas With Aioli Recipe

russet potatoes,

white vinegar

Kosher salt

dijon mustard

lemon juice,

canola oil

black pepper

hot smoked paprika

Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with 2 quarts water. Add vinegar and 2 tablespoons salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 7 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, combine egg yolks, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, and 2 teaspoons water in bowl of food processor. Run processor until homogenous, about 5 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl.

Transfer sauce to a large bowl set in a heavy pot lined with a towel. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in olive oil. Season to taste with salt, lemon juice, and black pepper. Set aside.

Heat oil in a 12-inch non-stick or cast iron straight-sided sauté pan over medium-high heat to 350°F.

Using slotted spoon or wire-mesh spider, transfer potatoes to bowl lined with paper towels. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Pile potatoes in a large bowl, drizzle with allioli, sprinkle with paprika and scallions, and serve, passing extra alli-oli tableside. Extra alli-oli will keep in the refrigerator for at least 1 week.

This crispy patatas bravas recipe comes to life with two irresistable sauces.

bay leaf

smoked paprika

tomato purée

sherry vinegar

garlic

lemon juice

russet potatoes (about 4 medium)

vegetable oil,

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add 1 bay leaf, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Carefully pour in 1 (15-ounce) can tomato purée and stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, then simmer until thickened, about 45 minutes. (This is a good time to make the alioli and cook the potatoes.) Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar.

Make the bravas sauce: 

Finely grate 4 garlic cloves into a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon freshly suqeezed lemon juice and stir to combine. Let sit for 30 minutes. Add 1 cup mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, and stir to combine. 

Make the alioli: 

Peel and cut 2 pounds russet potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Place in a medium saucepan and add enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil until the potatoes are tender, about 7 minutes. (Do not overcook or they will fall apart.) Drain, then transfer to a kitchen towel and arrange the potatoes into a single layer to dry thoroughly.

Heat 1 quart vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until 350°F. Working in batches so as to not overcrowd the pot (there should be some space between each potato), use a spider or slotted spoon to add the potatoes to the oil. Fry, stirring occassionally, until the potatoes are golden-brown and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a paper towel-lined bowl to drain briefly, then transfer to a serving dish. 

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon smoked paprika and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt over the potatoes and toss to coat. Serve with the alioli and bravas sauce for dipping.

Cook the potatoes:

Patatas Bravas is a popular Spanish tapas recipe of crispy oven-baked potatoes served with a tangy, spicy tomato sauce (salsa brava) and aioli or guacamole. Perfect as a simple appetizer, quick snack or side dish!

Patatas Bravas (Spanish Tapas)

tsp baking powder

salt and pepper (to taste)

onion (diced)

chili (chopped)

oz chopped tomatoes (1 can)

apple cider vinegar (or other vinegar of choice)

tsp agave syrup (or other sweetener of choice)

paprika powder

10.6 oz pimientos (+ a little oil

vegan aioli (mayo + garlic)

guacamole

parsley

Preheat the oven and a large baking tray to 428 °F (220 °C).

Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and put them in a pot. Pour in enough water to cover the potatoes and bring to a boil. Add salt and baking powder, cover the pot and cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes.

Then drain the cooking water, but leave the potatoes in the pot and allow excess moisture to evaporate, uncovered. Once the potatoes are dry, add oil, salt and pepper and shake the pot, covered, until everything is well combined.

Spread the seasoned potatoes on the preheated baking tray and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden and crispy.

Meanwhile, prepare the tomato sauce. First sauté the onions for 2-3 minutes. Then add garlic and chili and sauté for another minute. Now add paprika powder and sauté briefly, then add tomatoes, vinegar, agave syrup, salt and some pepper. Simmer, covered, for 5 minutes. Then optionally transfer to a blender and blend until smooth.

Also, roast the pimientos in a pan with a little oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Garnish the patatas bravas with parsley and serve with the pimientos, tomato sauce and optional vegan aioli and/or guacamole.

hot sauce (to taste)

garlic (grated

Place a large baking sheet in cold oven and preheat oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.*

Add baking soda and salt to a pot of water and bring to a boil. When boiling, add potatoes, cover, and bring back to boil. As soon as water is boiling, set a timer for 1 minute. After potatoes have been boiling for one minute, drain in a colander.

Return potatoes to pot and stir for 30 seconds, then add 1/4 cup olive oil, salt and pepper, stir to make sure potatoes are fully coated.

Carefully remove hot baking sheet from oven and pour potatoes onto the hot baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer.

Return to oven and bake for 15 minutes.

Remove sheet from oven and use a spatula to flip the potatoes, then return to the oven for another 15-25 minutes, or until potatoes are golden and crispy.

For The Potatoes:

Heat olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat.

Add onion and sauté until soft and golden, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add tomatoes, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper and hot sauce, stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

Reduce heat and allow to simmer on low for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

If you want, you can leave the sauce chunky, or if you would like it smooth as I did, transfer to a food processor to puree. Allow sauce to cool a bit before pulsing in food processor.

For The Salsa Brava:

Add mayonnaise, lemon juice and garlic to a bowl and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper if desired.

For The Garlic Aioli:

You can keep the sauces on the side or drizzle salsa brava and garlic aioli over potatoes and serve with more of each sauce on the side for dipping. Top with fresh chopped parsley for garnish if desired.
