As my mother is currently on a well deserved break in Spain, I thought it would be only fitting if I brought a part of Spain to Singapore, in the form of food glorious food. The rough translation of Papas Bravas is 'angry' or 'fierce' potatoes. This name is warranted as there is a biting spice to the dish. However, don't go crazy with the spice. It should be present, but it shouldn't overwhelm the dish.
Don't be intimidated by the name, this is a strikingly simple dish to put together. Below I will share the ingredients needed and the steps in which to piece this dish together, enjoy!

Instructions
1. First step is to roast the potatoes. Cut them into small wedges, place them in a plastic bag, into the bag add oil (3 Tsp) and salt.
2. Once mixed, place onto a baking tray, and cook for 40-50 minutes on 180 degrees.
3. When the potatoes are cooking. Dice onions, garlic and fresh tomatoes.
4. I use a wok, as it enhances the flavour. Add oil, then onions into the wok and cook until transparent. After that, add the garlic.
5. Once garlic is cooked, add the fresh tomatoes, and cook until soft. Do not cover with lid, this needs to be a dry paste, not a sauce.
6. The add the tomato paste inside and continue to cook.
7. Time to add the spices - Add the paprika, tabasco sauce, sugar and a pinch more salt.
8. Once all ingredients are added, then continue to cook for 5 minutes, to bring out all the flavour.
9. Once potatoes are roasted, add them into the wok.
10. Mixed the potatoes into the paste until it looks like the pictures above. Serve.
Very simple, and incredibly delicious! Enjoy!![]()
