The SECRET Behind Spain’s Most Addictive Potatoes

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Peel the potatoes if you like and cut them into 2.5 cm chunks. Boil in salted water for 6–7 minutes, until just starting to soften.
  2. Drain and pat the potatoes thoroughly dry with paper towels.
  3. Heat 1–2 cm of olive oil in a wide pan over medium heat. Fry the potatoes in batches for 8–10 minutes, turning now and then, until golden and crispy.
  4. Lift out with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels and season with salt.
  5. Make the sauce: heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat, add the flour and whisk for 1–2 minutes to form a light roux.
  6. Take off the heat, stir in both paprikas quickly without burning them.
  7. Slowly whisk in the warm chicken stock until smooth. Return to medium heat and simmer, stirring constantly, for 3–5 minutes until thickened.
  8. Stir in the red wine vinegar, season with salt and adjust the heat to taste. The sauce should be silky and spicy with a slight tang.
  9. For the garlic mayonnaise, put all the ingredients into a tall jar and blend quickly with an immersion blender until emulsified.
