👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Peel and cut the potatoes into 2-3 cm cubes. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them completely dry with a kitchen towel.
2. Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat. Fry the potato cubes in batches until golden brown and crispy on all sides, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
3. For the sauce: In a separate pan, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Stir in the smoked paprika and cayenne pepper, cooking for 30 seconds. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, white wine vinegar, and a pinch of sugar. Season with salt to taste.
5. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld. You can blend the sauce for a smoother consistency if desired.
6. Serve the crispy fried potatoes immediately, topped generously with the bravas sauce. For an authentic touch, drizzle with aioli before serving.
