Spanish Tapas Style Patatas Bravas

Not many things are on every menu in Spain, but Patatas Bravas must be up there as one of the most ordered tapas. Beautifully crispy twice fried potatos with a super spicy sauce, its easy to see why its so popular! I fell in love with all things Spain during trips to Barcelona, Valencia and Madrid. I can't wait to go back as soon as possible.

To make this at home you need:

1kg potatoes cut into 2cm cubes
500g plum tomatoes
1 small red onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tsps sweet paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 Bay leaf
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp chopped parsley, for garnish
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 tbsp olive oil

I'd love to see how yours turn out. Please tag me @rayaddisonfood and let me know in the comments below.

I think this might be the closest I remember my mom making this. I am going to have to try this one out. We lived in Madrid. I remember her using garlic and onions and tomoatoes and then doing the blender at the end, she always used to tell me as a kid to stand back when it went through the blender.

Awesome recipe! This looks pretty close to the type of salsa brava I’ve had in Spain! Gonna try it 😁 Thank you for sharing!

Always wondered wether you need to boil the pototoes first? Or just simply cut and fry then immediatley
