The ultimate Patatas Bravas | Potatoes with spicy sauce

I am a proud “Madrileño” and in my hometown, we pride ourselves on how good our patatas bravas are. There is something so special about traditions, they are there for a reason and are unquestionable in a community. For whoever is not from Madrid it is difficult to understand why we keep banging so much about it if really, this dish is just humble potatoes with a spicy tomato sauce. But it is so much more than that for us, we meet over “bravas” like in the UK you would “meet for a pint”. It is the ultimate tapa. Every tapas bar has them on the menu and everyone makes them differently but the one thing in common between all of us who cook it is that we all try to make it the very best we can. Like with croquetas, we measure the quality of a restaurant by how good or outstanding our bravas are and let me tell you, it makes a huge difference to how busy your place is. It comes without saying that in my tapas bars, we make the best Bravas this side of Madrid ; ) and this is my recipe adjusted to be cooked at home, where we never eat patatas bravas, we always go out and enjoy them with friends and a good beer. Salud!

Great recipe for patata bravas. Instead of baking, I used air fryer at 375 here in Utah since we are higher elevation. I was never able to make aioli and was happy to try your trick. Thank you!❤

[cyndiapasillas]

This brava sauce is the most delicious 😋 ❤ Thanks for sharing

[saulfuentealba]

Gracias for sharing this one and I did this one a little while ago, following all of your steps, and it turned out absolutely delicious!! I'm doing your Patatas Bravas again tonight and our taste buds are salivating just knowing what's coming our way. When I compare your recipe with several others, your one is definitely my favourite. I have always made my own Mayonesa but this one is perfect. Love your work and the passion you show while making all of these incredibly tasty dishes! BTW, whenever I cook any Spanish dishes, I'm always accompanied with one of my favourite Spanish Vermut!!! Salud Amigo 🍷

Perfecta receta, algo que queria intentar cocinar este verano

[johnpaulwilliamson]

Great recipe Omar, especially the quickest, easiest aioli I’ve ever made. We had them along side some pink iberico secreta bellota and gordal olives from a Spanish fine foods retailer here in Yorkshire. It was snowing outside, but it was summertime in Spain in my kitchen!

[angelawang]
