Patatas Bravas with Tomato-Garlic Sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   Begin by washing and peeling the potatoes. Cut them into 2-3 cm cubes and pat them dry with a paper towel.

2. 2

   Heat half of the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the potato cubes and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 10-15 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the pan and set them aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

3. 3

   For the tomato-garlic sauce, finely chop the garlic cloves. Then, in a saucepan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.

4. 4

   Crush the tomatoes and add them to the saucepan along with the paprika and chili powder. Stir well to combine.

5. 5

   Simmer the tomato mixture for about 10 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Add the white wine vinegar and cook for another 2 minutes.

6. 6

   Blend the sauce using an immersion blender or transfer to a blender to achieve a smooth consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. 7

   Serve the crispy potatoes on a plate and pour the tomato-garlic sauce over them. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley or chives for added color and flavor.
