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.

Peel the Agria potatoes and cut them into small cubes.

Heat olive oil in a pot to 180C.

Cook the potatoes in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes on high heat, then lower the temperature and cook until soft.

In a separate pot, heat olive oil and add chopped onion and whole garlic cloves.

Add bay leaves, smoked paprika, and sweet paprika to the onions after they caramelize.

Add a can of whole tomatoes and reduce the mixture on medium heat for about 20-30 minutes.

Check the potatoes; if done, remove them from the oil and let them cool.

Optionally, add tomato paste to thicken the sauce or place the sauce in the oven at 250C for 40 minutes to an hour to reduce it.

Blend the sauce and pass it through a chinois if necessary.

Fry the cooled potatoes again at 180C until golden brown.
