Patatas Bravas is one of those classic Spanish dishes that everyone raves about! Cubes of potato baked or fried to crispy perfection and topped with a thick tasty tomato sauce... basically the name which is translated to "Fierce Potatoes" is rather fitting.
The Recipe (Serves 3-4)
The Ingredients
400g of potatoes
Olive oil
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
1 small onion
1 clove of garlic, chopped (or 1 tsp of 'Very Lazy Garlic' from a Jar would also do the job)
2 tbsp tomato puree
2 tbsp paprika
A pinch of chilli powder
Pinch of Sugar
1-2 tbsp of flour
Parsley
The Method
Boil the potatoes in a pot for around 10-15 mins until cooked through.
Remove from the heat, drain and leave to cool for about 10 mins.
Whilst the potatoes are cooling you can begin to make the sauce.
Heat the olive oil in the pan, add the onions and cook for a few minutes until they soften.
Next, add the garlic cook with the onions for 1 min or so.
Pour in the tin of chopped tomatoes, spoon in the tomato puree, paprika and chilli powder.
Stir everything together and allow to simmer for 5 mins.
Now, while the sauce is simmering away, take the potatoes and chop them into decently sized cubes.
Get a frying pan and heat some olive oil in it, put the heat on a medium-high setting and place the potato cubes in. Fry these for around 5-10 mins until they begin to look nice and crispy.
Next, add the garlic cook with the onions for 1 min or so.
Pour in the tin of chopped tomatoes, spoon in the tomato puree, paprika and chilli powder.

Whilst keeping a watchful eye over the frying potatoes and turning every so often you can do a little multi-tasking and finish off the sauce...
The sauce should have been simmering for around 5 mins now so sprinkle in a pinch of sugar and begin to gradually add the flour to thicken the mixture.
Allow this to simmer for a further 5 minutes and by this time the sauce and the potatoes will be ready!
Take the potatoes off of the heat and bundle into a serving dish, top with the tomato sauce and voi la! Potatas Bravas served!
