This recipe delivers the authentic patatas bravas experience: perfectly cooked potatoes - crispy outside, soft inside - drenched in a smoky and spicy tomato sauce. It’s an essential Spanish tapa, serving 8 people as part of a varied selection. For best results, use a very floury potato and allow the potatoes to cool completely, which helps to remove excess moisture.
