Popular tapas from Spain. Printed in the cookbook 'Tapas-Delicious Little Dishes from Spain'. If you don't want to spring for a whole bottle of sherry, you might be able to find a mini bottle of it in liquor stores. DO NOT use cooking sherry! If you prefer, the potatoes can be roasted or pan grilled on an outdoor grill. Use the best quality tomatoes because it will make a huge difference in taste-organic preferably! Yukon Gold potatoes were nominated for the test recipe.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4" cubes
1 - small onion, grated
2-3 - garlic cloves, peeled and minced
2 tablespoons fino sherry
8 ounces fresh tomatoes, diced small (off season use only canned tomatoes not fresh ones)
1/2 teaspoon spanish smoked paprika, approximately and to taste
1 teaspoon sugar
1 - fresh bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon orange zest, finely grated
2 tablespoons fresh flat leaf parsley, minced (fresh!)

How To Make patatas bravas

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a skillet on MEDIUM heat. Add the potatoes and cook for about 15 minutes or until evenly brown.

Step 2

In the meantime, heat up the remaining olive oil in a skillet on MEDIUM to MEDIUM-LOW heat. Add the grated onion and cook gently for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sherry, simmering for 1 minute to burn off the alcohol.
Step 3

Reduce the heat to LOW and add the diced tomatoes, Spanish smoked paprika, sugar, and bay leaf. Cook for 10 minutes, adding a small amount of water if necessary to stop the mixture from thickening too much or drying out.
Step 4

Transfer the cooked potatoes to a serving platter and pour over the tomato sauce mixture; mix well. Garnish with the orange zest and flat leaf parsley. Serve hot. Posted 6 Aug 2014
