The Greek and I are planning a Europe trip this year...first stop Spain, then to Greece (of course!) So we are whetting our appetites in advance and trying Spanish recipes. These crispy fried potatoes are delicious served with Salsa Brava, a spicy tomato sauce. Great enjoyed as a tapa with a cold drink, or as a side dish along with a salad accompanying Spanish pork skewers (Pinchos Marunos)
Buen provecho!!!
Ingredients:
1kg floury potatoes (Agria variety is perfect)
extra virgin olive oil
Peel, then cut the potatoes roughly into even sized chunks. Place into a pot of salted water and boil for about 6 minutes. Drain into a colander, but no need to run under cold water. Shake the colander back and forth so the potatoes roughen up a little around the edges. Leave to cool.
Heat about 200ml of olive oil on medium high heat then add potatoes. Fry until crispy and golden, turning from time to time. Serve straight away with Salsa Brava.
Salsa Brava
3 x tblspn extra virgin olive oil
1 x tsp smoked paprika
1 x tspn chilli flakes
1 x tblspn red wine vinegar
125 ml Spanish tomato sauce
Heat olive oil in a pan to medium high, add paprika, chilli flakes and vinegar, stirring until a smooth paste. Stir in the tomato sauce and season to taste. Thin the sauce with a little water if necessary.
