Air Fryer Patatas Bravas
A tapas favorite made easily at home! You can get delightfully crispy potatoes without deep frying by using your air fryer, and the homemade bravas sauce is simple to make with readily available ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1.75 lb (800 g) potatoes, chopped into small cubes
For the bravas sauce
- ½ red onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 Tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar
- 14 oz can of chopped tomatoes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the quick aioli
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1.5 tsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the bravas sauce first. Heat a little bit of oil in a deep wok or saucepan, and saute onions until soft and lightly browned. Add garlic, parsley and smoked paprika, and saute for a couple more minutes until the flavors are released (being very careful not to let the garlic burn). Add the chopped tomatoes, sugar and vinegar and allow the sauce to simmer away while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
- Now chop your potatoes into cubes. Soak them in boiling water for 5 minutes while you preheat the air fryer.
- Preheat the air fryer to 200C / 390F.
- Drain the potatoes, pat them dry and toss in olive oil. Make sure each potato is well coated with oil. Add salt, then add them to the air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes. At this point, check for readiness and add another 5 minutes to the cook time if needed.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the aioli by whisking all ingredients into a small cup.
- Puree the bravas sauce in the blender or by using a hand blender.
- Once the potatoes are done, remove from the air fryer and assemble! Put the potatoes in a dish, add a little salt, then pour the bravas sauce and aioli on top. Finish with chives or parsley if using.
