Cut the potatoes into 3/4" – 1" pieces, ensuring one medium potato per guest plus one extra.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally.

Remove the potatoes and drain on paper towels.

In a separate saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in the prepared Potatas Bravas sauce, simmer for 5 minutes.

Season sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve the potatoes hot, drizzled with sauce and garnished with parsley.
