Crispy Baked Patatas Bravas with Smoky Tomato Sauce

This accessible variation of the Spanish tapas classic swaps the traditional deep-frying method for a high-heat oven roast, resulting in potatoes that are fluffy on the inside and irresistibly crispy on the outside. They are served with a homemade smoky paprika tomato sauce and a quick garlic aioli for the perfect balance of heat and creaminess.

Ingredients

2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp sea salt
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp smoked paprika (pimentón)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust for heat)
1 cup crushed canned tomatoes
1 tsp sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, grated (for aioli)
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the cornstarch, and the sea salt until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they aren't touching too much to allow for crisping.

  4. 4

    Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    While the potatoes roast, make the bravas sauce. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.

  6. 6

    Sauté the diced onion for about 5 minutes until soft, then add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  7. 7

    Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vinegar. Lower the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens. Use an immersion blender if you prefer a smooth sauce.

  8. 8

    Prepare the quick aioli by whisking together the mayonnaise, grated garlic, and lemon juice in a small bowl.

  9. 9

    Transfer the crispy potatoes to a serving platter.

  10. 10

    Drizzle generous amounts of the spicy tomato sauce and the garlic aioli over the potatoes.

  11. 11

    Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with toothpicks.
