Ingredients
Patatas (Potatoes)
- 4 large potatoes (russet or Yukon gold, cut into bite sized cubes)
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Salsa Brava
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion (diced into small pieces)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon chilli powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can crushed tomatoes (approximately 28 ounce can)
- 2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 bay leaf
Garlic Sauce
- 1 clove garlic (finely minced or shredded)
- ½ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt or Icelandic skyr)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Garnish
- fresh parsley or cilantro (finely chopped)
Instructions
Garlic Sauce
- In a small bowl combine the garlic sauce ingredients (mayonnaise, minced garlic and lemon juice). Mix until evenly combined and set aside in the fridge until ready to serve.
Potatoes
- Preheat Air Fryer to 350°F.
- Peel ,wash and dry the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into bite sized cubes.
- Place the potatoes in a bowl and add the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt and pepper. Mix until the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Add the potatoes in a single layer to the air fryer. Depending on the size of your air fryer work in batches to cook the potatoes. There can be some overlap as the potatoes will shrink while cooking but if they are stacked in multiple layers they will steam and not get crispy.
- Cook in the air fryer for 20 minutes. Halfway through cooking shake the potatoes to flip them.
- Increase the temperature to 400°F and cook for another 5 - 8 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Salsa Brava
- While the potatoes are cooking prepare the salsa brava.
- In a large frying pan or skillet on medium heat add the oil and onion. Sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add in the garlic, chili powder, oregano, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant.
- Add in the crushed tomatoes, red wine vinegar and bay leaf. Reduce the heat medium low and bring to a simmer. Allow to simmer for 15 - 20 minutes for the flavors to develop and for the sauce to thicken.
- When the sauce has thickened you can choose to either leave the sauce chunky, or use an immersion blender or blender or puree the sauce smooth. I prefer a chunky sauce but this is personal preference.
Serve
- To serve, add a serving of the cooked potatoes to a plate or platter. Add the salsa brava over top and then drizzle the garlic sauce on top. You can transfer the garlic sauce to a Ziploc bag and cut the corner off to drizzle it or you can use a squeeze bottle.
- Optional: garnish with fresh chopped parsley and cilantro.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
