  • Olive Oil For Shallow Frying or Roasting
  • Salt To Taste
  • Flat Leaf Parsley, Roughly Chopped

Salsa Bravas

  • 3 Tbsp 60ml - Olive Oil
  • 1 Tbsp (14g) - Plain (All Purpose) Flour
  • 2 tsp (8g) - Smoked Spanish Paprika
  • ½ tsp (2g) Hot Smoked Paprika
  • 200ml (200g) - Chicken Stock
  • 1 tsp (5ml) - Red Wine Vinegar
  • Seasoning To Taste

Garlic Mayo

  • 1 - Egg
  • 3 tsp (15ml) - White Vinegar
  • 1 tsp (10g) - Dijon Mustard
  • 180ml (160g) - Neutral Oil
  • 1 - Garlic Clove

Instructions

Prep & Fry the Potatoes

  • Peel (optional) and cut potatoes into 2.5cm chunks. Boil in salted water for 6–7 minutes, just until starting to soften. Drain and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  • Heat a generous layer of olive oil (1–2 cm deep) in a wide pan over medium heat. Fry the potatoes in batches for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and season with salt to taste.

Make the Bravas Sauce

  • In a small saucepan, add the olive oil over medium heat. Add flour and whisk for 1–2 minutes to form a light roux. Remove from heat, add both paprikas, and stir quickly (be careful not to burn the spices).
  • Slowly whisk in the warm chicken stock until smooth. Return to medium heat, simmer, and stir constantly until the mixture has thickened (3–5 minutes).
  • Add vinegar, season with salt, and adjust heat to taste. It should be silky and spicy with a slight tang.

Garlic Mayonnaise

  • Place all ingredients into a tall jar and blend quickly with an immersion blender until emulsified.
