Classic Spanish Patatas Bravas
Ingredients
  • 2 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 cups olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 red chile, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 (14 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, drained
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
1
Combine diced potatoes, 2 cups of high-quality olive oil, and a generous amount of salt in a large, refrigerated skillet.
2
Heat the mixture on a low setting and cook until the potatoes have become tender, taking around 12 to 15 minutes.
3
Increase the heat to a high level and fry the potatoes until they turn golden brown, requiring about 5 to 6 minutes.
4
Remove excess oil by draining the potatoes on paper towels.
5
Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heat-conductive saucepan over medium heat.
6
Cook and stir the onion with 1 teaspoon of salt in the hot oil until it becomes soft and fragrant, taking around 3 to 4 minutes.
7
Add minced garlic, diced chile peppers, and smoked paprika; simmer for 1 to 2 minutes.
8
Stir in crushed tomatoes and return the mixture to a gentle simmer.
9
Transfer the tomato mixture to a blender, cover it securely, and puree until the tomato sauce is smooth and creamy.
10
Serve the crispy potatoes with a side of rich, homemade tomato puree and mayonnaise for dipping.
