Patatas bravas is one of those typical dishes that we always order when we’re out on a tapas night and also one of the dishes that is never absent when we have a tapas night at home. This is great to put on the table for new years eve for instance. Nice and solid food to prepare for an evening with a lot of booze!
As a guideline I used the recipe from BBC Good Food
To be sure that your potatoes will be soft, I precooked them first for about 5 minutes. The potatoes were perfect but I used to much of the tomato stuff on top. This made the flavor of the potatoes themselves a little lost. Despite that, the whole bowl went down well. Nothing left.
Al in all a really good dish, but be careful with the sauce and serve in a separate bowl if necessary.

- About ten minutes before serving, put the sauce on a low heat to warm through. Peel the potatoes and cut them in dice of about 2 x 2 cm.
- Pat them dry with kitchen paper.
- Equally divide them across a baking tine and pour olive oil over it.
- Add pepper and salt and mix it all well. Adding a few twigs of rosemary is also a good idea if you have any lying around.
- Put the baking tray in the oven and bake the potatoes for about 40-50 minuten until golden brown. Check every 20 minutes if they're still ok. And shake them around a bit when checking too.
- Put the baked potatoes in cute little bowls and add the heated tomato sauce on top. as mentioned; don't put all the sauce on at once. It can be a little overpowering.
