This recipe captures the essence of the beloved Spanish tapa by delivering perfectly crispy potatoes without the need for deep frying. The smoky paprika coating and the dual drizzle of spicy tomato sauce and garlic aioli make this an irresistible crowd-pleaser.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, cornstarch, smoked paprika, and sea salt until they are evenly coated.
Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer (cook in two batches if necessary) and air fry for 18-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the potatoes are cooking, combine the tomato purée, sherry vinegar, and hot sauce in a small microwave-safe bowl; heat for 60 seconds or simmer briefly on the stove.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice to create a quick garlic aioli.
Transfer the hot, crispy potatoes to a serving platter.
Drizzle the spicy tomato sauce over the potatoes, followed by the garlic aioli, and serve immediately with toothpicks.
