Ingredients

• 2 pounds Red potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 can (14 ounces) Canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 small Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon White vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into wedges, leaving the skin on for extra texture and flavor.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.

Step 5

While the potatoes bake, prepare the bravas sauce. In a medium saucepan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, red chili powder, and a pinch of salt. Simmer the sauce for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Add the white vinegar to the sauce and blend it using an immersion blender or a countertop blender until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 9

Once the potatoes are done, transfer them to a serving platter and drizzle generously with the bravas sauce.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of ground black pepper. Serve immediately while hot.
