Patatas bravas
Crispy potato cubes, bright and smoky tomato sauce, garlicky aioli...yum! Frozen potatoes (sometimes labeled as “diced hash browns”) make it super-fast, but be sure you’re buying diced, not shredded potatoes. You can also use fresh potatoes diced into 1 cm cubes, but they may need to cook for 5 to 7 minutes longer.
Ingredients
For the brava sauce
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 tsp kosher salt, more to taste
- 2 tsp smoked paprika, more for garnish
- Crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
- 2 Tbsp tomato paste
- 15-oz can tomato sauce
- 1 tsp sherry vinegar
For the garlic aioli
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- 1 tsp lemon juice
For the potatoes
- 3 cups frozen diced potatoes
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Method
- Make the sauce: In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat until hot.
- Add the onions, garlic and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the paprika and red pepper flakes and stir to combine.
- Add the tomato paste and cook until darkened, about 1 minute.
- Add the tomato sauce and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently to prevent splattering, until slightly thickened, about 7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vinegar. If using immediately, keep warm. (The sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for 3 days; reheat before serving.)
- Make the aioli: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated garlic and lemon juice. Set aside.
- Cook the potatoes: In a medium bowl, toss the potatoes in 1 tsp oil.
- Spread the potatoes in an even layer in the air fryer basket and insert into the oven’s top rack position.
- Set the oven to Air Fry at 400°F for 18 minutes.
- Cook, tossing halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and crispy, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Season the potatoes with salt to taste and transfer to a serving dish.
- Spoon the brava sauce over the potatoes and top with aioli. Dust with smoked paprika, if desired, and serve immediately.
