Patatas Bravas with Authentic Sauce

This is the real recipe for patatas bravas, a dish dating back to 1960 that is believed to have originated at the now-closed bars Casa Pellico and La Casona in Madrid. In 2008, the United Nations compiled a list of Spanish tapas and recognized this recipe as a classic Spanish tapa. The only debate is whether or not to include tomato, but for years, this has been considered the authentic version.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
First, make the sauce. Heat oil in a skillet, slice the onion thinly, and sauté until soft. Add the sweet paprika and hot paprika (adjust the amount of hot paprika to taste, depending on how spicy you want it).
- 2
Once the paprika is mixed with the onion, quickly add the flour and stir well so the paprika doesn't burn and turn bitter. When everything is combined, pour in the chicken broth and stir until the sauce thickens. Add salt, blend the sauce until smooth, and set aside.
- 3
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized pieces. Heat plenty of oil in a pan, and when it's very hot, add the potatoes. Fry over high heat until golden on the outside and soft on the inside.

Remove the potatoes and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt, pour the sauce over the top, and enjoy!

Patatas bravas Patatas bravas
Patatas bravas--crispy potatoes served with a spicy, paprika-forward tomato sauce--are standard fare at any tapas restaurant. As simple as they are to make (and they really, really are simple), there's a lot of variation in the method. The recipe below includes my personal preferences. I use mini creamer potatoes, first because I like the texture, and second because they're easier to prep (i.e. just cut 'em in half). Next, I shallow fry my patatas. Again, this is for simplicity. I see no reason to pull out the deep fryer just to crisp up a few potatoes. Lastly, I like to mix a little mayo into the bravas sauce. I find it rounds out the flavour. Of course you can omit this step, or serve the mayo separately (or better yet, make homemade spicy aioli). However you make them, patatas bravas make for a delicious starter to a meal.

Chimichurri Sauce Chimichurri Sauce
We had some chimichurri sauce in a restaurant and my family loved it. I tried making various versions of the recipe and I eventually arrived at this. It seems like you can also make this with a herb mix from Argentina. I had my friend from Argentina send me one.This recipe uses American style cup measurements so 1 cup = 240 ml. Adjust the amount of red pepper to your liking (We add a little extra in my home). It's best when it's a bit spicy! Depending on what kind of salt you use, the actual salty flavor will vary. So start with a small amount and then add more as necessary. Recipe by Mama Imani cookpad.japan -
