Patatas bravas con salsas de Alioli y Agridulce 
Patatas Bravas with Alioli and Sweet & Spicy Sauces
The origin of this dish isn’t very clear; however, Ángel Muro, in El Practicón (1893), noted that: "any sauce, any dressing, known or yet to be discovered, goes well with potatoes, even with tallow and saffron, which is how the poor in Madrid eat them." One of the first explicit documented mentions comes from the renowned journalist Luis Carandell, in his work Vivir en Madrid (1967), where he explains: "patatas bravas are fried potatoes with spicy sauce, just as you might imagine the poor would eat potatoes, that is, by dipping bread in the sauce."

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Peel and cut the potatoes into irregular chunks, not too small. Fry them over medium-low heat until cooked through.
- 2
Once cooked, remove the potatoes and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Let them rest for a few minutes. Then, heat the oil in the pan to high (without letting it smoke) and return the potatoes to the pan just to brown them, since they are already cooked.
- 3
Meanwhile, make an alioli by blending one egg, two garlic cloves, salt, and a mild oil.
- 4
Once the potatoes are golden, remove them and drain any excess oil again. Divide onto plates—remember, this is a tapa. Sprinkle with salt, then top with alioli to taste, followed by sweet & spicy sauce (I used store-bought for this), and a few drops of Tabasco to taste.
- 5
Finally, sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish and enjoy your tapa.

Potato Dumplings with Sweet & Savory Sauce Potato Dumplings with Sweet & Savory Sauce
I received potatoes from Hokkaido, so I made these.In Step 1, soak the potato in a bowl of water briefly before cooking!In Step 4, cook the dumplings until they are slightly browned. They taste better that way when they're coated with the sauce, which will flavor the dumplings.If you like lots of sauce, double the amount of the sweet-savory sauce. Recipe by bvivid -
