Patatas Bravas - Potatoes for the Brave, Spanish Style! created by Swirling F.

MORE

There are many recipes for this famous Spanish tapas dish - this recipe was given to me by a Spanish friend from Madrid, and is the only recipe I use now..........I like the fact that the potatoes are baked in the oven, making it easier to prepare & socialise with a glass of Sangria or two! In Spain, Patatas Bravas is often served with mayonnaise or alioli - however you choose to serve it, this is a "must" for your Tapas table!

These were lovely. I should have chopped up onions and tomato more finely but didn't because I was a lazy butt. I let myself down, but the flavours were nice. I found it nearly too spicy for myself, but it was well enjoyed by my guests. Thanks.
