Patatas Bravas

As I go to Spain regularly I thought I’d share one of my favourite Spanish recipes.  I love to try this tapas dish in various different restaurants.  It’s basically small cubed potatoes with a lovely tomato based sauce which you can make as spicy as you like.  As home you could have it as a side with many dishes. 

Ingredients

4 tbsp olive oil

1 small onion chopped

2 cloves garlic chopped

227g can chopped tomatoes

1 tbsp tomato puree

2 tsp sweet paprika

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp salt

1 tsp chilli powder

900 g potatoes cubed

Chopped parsley to garnish

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200g
  2. Heat 3 tbsp of the oil in a pan and fry the onion until it softens
  3. Add garlic, tomatoes, puree, sweet paprika, chilli powder, sugar , tsp salt and bring to the boil stirring occasionally
  4. Simmer for around 15 minutes
  5. Pat the potatoes dry with kitchen roll, then tip into a roasting tray with 1 tbsp oil and season
  6. Roast for around 40 minutes until golden
  7. Tip potatoes into a serving dish, spoon over the tomato sauce and garnish with parley
