Alicante Style Patatas Bravas – Brave Potatoes Recipe

– Alicante Style Patatas Bravas – Brave Potatoes Recipe –

Alicante, one of the most beautiful cities in the Iberian penninsula, dominated by a hill-top castle, filled with historical culture, street side bars and restaurants, and the Mediterranean sea at hand. Yes, Alicante, one of the most touristic cities in Spain, and it´s no wonder why. Well for me, my love for Alicante is because it´s the city where my parents met and got married, but that was decades ago. My love for Alicante is beyond my parents, it´s the food! They have some of the best food in all of Spain. Take for example patatas bravas, one of Spain´s most popular tapas, in Alicante they are served up differently than anywhere else in the entire country. Thinly sliced crispy potatoes with a spicy tomato sauce, trust me, this with a cold beer or a glass of chilled white wine is paradise. I have created an easy and quick way to make this perfect appetizer so you can share it with your family and friends, and have a taste of Alicante within 30 minutes or less. Watch the video below on how to make these Alicante style patatas bravas or print out the recipe card below. Salud!

    These look irresistible! I’ve been pretty much obsessed with smoked paprika lately. I might have to make a double or triple batch of these…
