Spanish Patatas Bravas Ingredients :

  • 4 medium potatoes
  • 1-2 cups of olive oil for frying
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1/2 cup of homemade bravas sauce

How to Make Spanish Patatas Bravas

1

Peel the potatoes, rinse them, and thoroughly dry to ensure they crisp up well. Cut them into bite-sized chunks.

2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (176°C). Add the potatoes and reduce the heat to low. Cook for a few minutes.

3

Remove the potatoes from the oil using a slotted spoon and let them cool in the refrigerator for a few minutes.

4

Increase the heat to high and reheat the oil to 350°F (176°C). Return the potatoes to the skillet and fry until they are crispy and golden.

5

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the potatoes to a plate lined with paper towels. Season with salt to taste.

6

Drizzle the bravas sauce over the potatoes and serve immediately. Optionally, serve with toothpicks.

Recipe Notes:

Ensure the potato chunks are completely dried before frying to achieve maximum crispiness.

Pair with extra homemade bravas sauce or garlic aioli for a delightful flavor contrast.
