Tapas night: Easy patatas bravas

Es un plato tradicional la mayor parte de las regiones de España.

IF YOU HAVE AN OVEN AND SOME POTATOES, YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT.

Ok, so the photo makes it look simple... and it is!  Simple, yet very tasty little dish for a cozy night in. My girlfriend has been insisting that I make these again and again. However I keep refusing just because I am afraid I am going to become addicted to it and not cook anything else...

I have tested this recipe several times and I can say that it has worked 100% of the time.

Ingredients:

For the sauce

• 3 tbsp oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 can chopped tomatoes (or 10+ ripe fresh tomatoes)
• 2 tsp sweet paprika (pimenton)
• 1 chilli, chopped
• pinch sugar
• chopped fresh parsley, to garnish

For the potatoes

• 900g potatoes, cut into small cubes
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Directions:

1. Fry the onion in hot oil for 5 minutes until softened.
2. Add the garlic, tomatoes, paprika, chilli, sugar and salt and bring to the boil, stirring. Simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Roast potato cubes with oil and some salt and pepper in the oven for 40-50 minutes (200C/gas 6/fan oven 180C) until the potatoes are crisp and golden.
4. Serve the potatoes with the sauce. Sprinkle with parsley.

This is it, amigos, have a little fiesta and share the joy!
