Spanish Tapas: "Patas Bravas" Bold Potatoes


Patatas Bravas is a favorite tapas dish of me and my husband. We have ordered it many times at tapas restaurants and I have made it a few times at home. This is the best recipe I have found for it.


6 potatoes
oil for frying
3/4 cup tomato sauce
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
one clove of garlic, minced
one tablespoon vinegar
one teaspoon Spanish paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions
For the sauce combine the tomato sauce, mayonnaise, garlic, vinegar, paprika, cumin and pepper in a small sauce pan. Slowly heat while you prepare the potatoes.

Parboil potaotes. Drain, peel and cut into cubes. Deep-fry or saute in hot olive oil until browned and crisp. Drain and serve immediately sprinkled with salt and drizzled liberally with the spicy sauce.

Yield: 4-6 servings
