Preparation
- Boil the baby potatoes until they are soft and can be easily pierced with a fork.
- Drain and let them dry until the skins are no longer wet.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F (220°C)).
Cooking
- While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the bravas sauce.
- Heat 3 tbsp of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion, season with salt, smoked paprika, and sweet paprika, and cook until the onion softens.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes and sugar, then simmer for about 15 minutes until the sauce reduces by 25%.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Optionally, blend the sauce for a smooth consistency.
- Place the dried potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Use a flat cup to gently smash them until craggy but intact.
- Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, and roast for about 25 minutes until crispy and golden.
Plating & Serving
- Serve the crispy potatoes with the bravas sauce and mayonnaise.
- For a decorative touch, use squirt bottles to dot the potatoes with alternating spots of sauce and mayonnaise.
- Garnish with cilantro leaves if desired.
Notes
For an extra kick, add grated garlic to the mayonnaise. This dish is best served fresh to maintain the crispiness of the potatoes.
