Typically the potatoes are fried in this dish, but roasting is easier and a little healthier.

Rosted Patatas Bravas
Servings
Ingredients
- 6 fresh tomatoes
- 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 pinch cayene pepper
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- salt to taste
- 2 1/2 pound potatoes cut into chunks
Instructions
- Cut the tomatoes and puree them in a food processor. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds and skin.
- Pour the oil into a small pan and warm over a low flame. Add the tomato puree, sugar, bay leaf, paprika and cayenne. Raise heat to medium and cook until the mixture reduces by 2/3 and becomes a dark deep color red, about 20 minutes.
- Remove from the heat. Add the vinegar, add salt to taste, and reserve.
- Toss potatoes with oil just to coat and roast at 400 degrees for about 30-45 minutes until crisp. When ready pour bravas sauce over the potatoes and serve immediately.











I made this sauce with the roasted potatoes, but it was really good on just about everything. OH and I didn’t have fresh tomatoes so I used a large can of whole plum tomatoes.
