🫒 Olive oil – 5 tbsp (for cooking and frying)
🧂 Salt – 1 tsp
⚫ Smoked paprika – 1 tsp
🌶️ Mild or hot chili powder – 1/2 tsp (to taste)
🧄 Garlic – 1 clove (finely chopped)

🔪 Step-by-step preparation
1️⃣ 🥔 Prepare the potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes about 2 cm wide. Rinse them well under cold water to remove starch, then pat dry thoroughly with a clean tea towel.
2️⃣ 🔥 Pan-frying or deep-frying
Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a pan or deep fryer to 170°C (340°F). Fry the potato cubes for 10–12 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and salt immediately.
3️⃣ 🍅 Make the bravas sauce
In a small saucepan, sauté the chopped garlic with 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the tomato purée, smoked paprika, chili powder, and a pinch of salt. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
4️⃣ 🥣 Assemble the final sauce
Mix the spiced tomato sauce with the mayonnaise and a splash of lemon juice to create a creamy, balanced bravas sauce.
5️⃣ 🍽️ Plate up the patatas bravas
Place the potatoes on a serving dish. Generously drizzle with the bravas sauce and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
