How to make Patatas Bravas with Aioli

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is healthier.

smoked paprika

🥗Healthier: sweet paprika

💰Cheaper: regular paprika

Sweet paprika provides flavor without the smokiness.

tomato sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: canned tomatoes

Homemade sauce can reduce preservatives.

cayenne pepper

🥗Healthier: paprika

💰Cheaper: red pepper flakes

Red pepper flakes can provide similar heat.

Preheat the oven to the bake and broil option.

Cut the washed and dried potatoes in half, then cut each half into quarters to create even pieces.

Drizzle olive oil in the baking dish to prevent sticking.

Place the potato pieces in the baking dish and drizzle more olive oil on top for a crunchy texture.

Bake the potatoes in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, checking for doneness depending on your oven.

While the potatoes are baking, heat a small saucepan over medium heat.

Chop the garlic and add it to the heated olive oil in the saucepan.

Sauté the garlic until fragrant, then add smoked paprika and a pinch of salt, cooking briefly until combined.

After 35 to 40 minutes, check the potatoes; they should be perfectly cooked and golden.

Transfer the baked potatoes to a large bowl and pour the Brava sauce over them, tossing to coat evenly.

Add a pinch of salt to the potatoes for seasoning.

Plate the potatoes in a nice dish and garnish with chopped parsley and homemade aioli.
