Patatas Bravas
This classic Spanish tapas dish is so delicious and easy too! Serve it with a green salad and garlic bread and it feels like a meal in itself. Even better, serve it with our Spanish white wine lentils 🙂

Ingredients
- 500-600g/3 cups floury potatoes (such as Maris Piper or King Edwards), peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1-2 fresh chillies, deseeded and finely diced
- 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 2 tsp sweet smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp sugar or syrup (eg agave or maple)
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- Handful of fresh parsley or chives for decoration
Quick aioli
- 200g/¾ cup vegan mayo
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- ¾ tbsp lemon juice
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F/Gas Mark 6. OR instead of roasting the potatoes you can parboil them for 7 minutes, drain and then fry until crisp and golden (either way works well).
- If roasting, place the potatoes on a baking tray with a little oil and salt and pop in the oven for 40 minutes (or until crisp and golden), turning once.
- While the potatoes are cooking, fry the onion in a small amount of olive oil until soft and golden.
- Add the chilli and garlic and fry for a further minute.
- Now stir through the tinned tomatoes, sugar, salt, smoked paprika. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the mixture is thicker and has reduced down.
- Stir in the vinegar and then taste the sauce, adjusting the seasoning if necessary.
Quick aioli
- Stir all of the ingredients together and keep refrigerated until use.
Assembly
- Remove the potatoes from the oven, then plate up and layer with the tomato sauce and the aioli. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or chives.
