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.

Apparently, there are various kinds of prepping patatas bravas such as fried, baked, etc. This is the way I make it. This is one of the recipes I made when I had a bumper crop of new potatoes and was making lots of recipes using new potatoes. .Make sure to cook down the sauce until the liquid is gone and cook the potatoes until crispy.

Slice Yukon Potatoes in half lengthwise horizontally, cover the bottom of a large cast iron pan with the halves, single layer, four or five potatoes will cover the bottom.Yukon potatoes are 3” long and 2” thick. Perfect to cut in 1” square chunks, 6 per potato. They must fit in a single layer in your cast iron pan, to be oven baked to perfection in 30 minutes. Crispy crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside.

A tasty side you can spice up or down to your own taste. Pairs great with my Spanish Chicken recipe!

When in Spain on a buisness trip my husband was taken out to dinner at many great restaurant's. One dish that was on every menu was a potato dish called potatoes bravas. Each restaurant had its own version, but all consisted of fried potatoes served with a creamy tomato type sauce. This is my version of it.

Spicy Potatoes a favorite that can be enjoyed with Dosa, Roti, Paratha or Rice.

This is a refreshing and spicy potato salad that is perfect for your weekend bbq! Added bonus- it takes less than 30 minutes to whip up

This spicy Cajun potatoes is as we all know the signature dish of barbecue nation. They pull me everywhere time to their doorstep and my hubby wonders as to how one can love potatoes so much (he isn’t a potato lover, but dats another story 😀). I’ve tried preparing it many times but couldn’t make up to it's right taste but after a lot of trial and error methods this tastes somewhat like the barbecue nation ones. Enjoy! Happy eating!

#deepfriedA spicy twist to the regular fries. Enjoy this twist which my kids keep demanding every now and then.
