In a small fry pan, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Add 1 teaspoon of sweet smoked Spanish paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of hot smoked Spanish paprika, and 1/2 tablespoon of corn starch, whisking until smooth.

Slowly add 1/2 cup of vegetable broth while whisking continuously.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of white wine vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, whisking until creamy for about 3-4 minutes.

In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 2 cloves of grated garlic, 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Season with sea salt and black pepper, whisking until creamy.

Remove the fried potatoes and transfer them to a dish lined with paper towels, seasoning with sea salt.

Drizzle the spicy brava sauce over the fried potatoes and top with garlic mayo aioli, garnishing with fresh parsley.
