Spanish for fierce potatoes, Patatas Bravas are a common tapas offering of crisp potato cubes served with a spicy sauce. Ingredients:
4 cups (1-inch) cubed peeled baking potato (about 1 1/2 pounds) |
1 tablespoon butter |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1 cup diced onion |
1 cup diced green bell pepper |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper |
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce |
parsley sprigs (optional) |
Directions:
1. To prepare potatoes, place potato in a medium saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute or until crisp-tender; drain well.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and 2 teaspoons oil to pan, swirling to coat bottom of pan; heat 30 seconds or until foam subsides. Add potato to pan; sauté 8 minutes or until browned, stirring twice. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon red pepper, and garlic; sauté 1 minute. Remove potato mixture from pan; keep warm.
3. To prepare sauce, heat pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil to pan, swirling to coat; heat 15 seconds. Add onion and bell pepper; sauté 5 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon red pepper, and tomato sauce; bring to a simmer. Cook 1 minute. Pour onion mixture into a blender. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender. Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters). Blend until smooth. Serve sauce with potato mixture. Garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired.
