Potatoes Bravas

18 minutes

6 servings

Potatoes bravas is what happens when crispy potatoes meet tangy, spicy tomato sauce. It's a staple dish at tapas bars, but easier (and less oily) to make at home with time-saving microwave cookware (hello, Steamers). Keep the potato skins on to bump up the fibre content—about half of a potato's fibre content is from the skin. Pro tip: don't skip the Roasted Garlic Aioli for dunking!

Ingredients

  • 6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 pkg Spanish Rice Seasoning or Taco Seasoning
  • 1 1⁄2 cups water
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1⁄2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Preparation

  1. Chop unpeeled potatoes, then place in Multipurpose Steamer. Cover and microwave on high for 12–14 min, or until fork tender.
  2. Meanwhile, combine seasoning, water, tomato paste, and vinegar in Wok set over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low so mixture is simmering.
  3. Add potatoes to pan and toss with sauce. Simmer until sauce is thickened and potatoes are coated, about 2 min.
  4. Serve with a dollop of aioli, if desired.
