Step 1 of 2 · Patatas Bravas

Prepare the Salsa Brava

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent, then add the garlic and cook for another minute. Stir in the smoked paprika and tomato paste, cooking for 30 seconds to bloom the flavors. Add the crushed tomatoes and simmer for 15 minutes until thickened. Finish with sherry vinegar and salt to taste, then blend until smooth if desired.

Use a mix of sweet and hot smoked paprika for a more authentic depth of flavor.
