What Are Patatas Bravas?

You may have never heard of Patatas Bravas, but that is okay! This side dish is served in restaurants and bars all throughout Spain. The potatoes are diced into 2? cubes, fried in oil and served warm with a spicy Patatas Bravas sauce.

This dish can be as an appetizer to share with friends or served with grilled fish or chicken and served with a green salad for a complete meal.

Recipe Tips

You can place the potatoes in the refrigerator over night if you wish after boiling. It�s important that the potatoes are completely cool before frying them. This is super important when it comes to the frying process. Choose a potato that is high in starch like Wada Farms Russet Potatoes. Gold or red potatoes would also work well. Be sure to par-boil your potatoes (boiling potatoes in water with baking soda) as this breaks down the pectins of the potato so that the starch is released and gives the potatoes a crispy layer once you fry them.

In a medium skillet, heat 1 cup of oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to bubble, gently add in the potatoes, be sure not to overcrowd the skillet as this will need to be done in batches. Cook the potatoes in the oil until they are golden brown on all sides, about 20-25 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a tray lined with paper towels, this will help to remove any excess oil. Immediately season with additional kosher salt.
