  1. Video tutorial: Softening onions

Method

  1. Prepare ahead by heating the oil in a pan, add the onion and fry for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic, tomatoes, tomato purée, paprika, chilli powder, sugar and salt and bring to the boil, stirring. Simmer for 10 minutes until pulpy. Set aside for up to 24 hours.
  2. To serve, preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan oven 180C. Cut the potatoes into small cubes and pat dry with kitchen paper. Spread over a roasting tin and toss in the oil, then season. Roast for 40-50 minutes, until the potatoes are crisp and golden.
  3. Tip the potatoes into dishes and spoon over the reheated sauce. Sprinkle with the parsley. Serve with cocktail sticks.

    Made this as for a tapas night with some friends. Used baby potatoes which turned out lovely & crispy. Delicious!

    I love patatas bravas, but had never tried it at home until this evening. I was missing the tomato puree and only had a large tin of tomatoes (400g), so the modification I made to this was to add this to the recipie and leave it on a lower heat for a little longer, for the sauce to reduce down and thicken. I served my potatoes with some roasted peppers, courgettes and garlic cloves (unpeeled) and some chorizo, which I fried in a pan with some cherry tomatoes (halved), some sliced garlic with a splash of basalmic vinegar just before serving, so it caramelised over the chorizo.

    This is really tastey... now that we have got used to making the sauce we have it with several different things. It is nice over baked Chicken, Prawns.... or even if there is any left over warm it up again with pasta the next day..... YUMMY!
