I make delicious Spanish tapas from uneaten boiled potatoes.
Patas bravas are seasoned to your liking Eeva Paljakka
Potatas bravas made from potatoes are a popular Spanish tapas.
And no wonder, as the potatoes are fried crispy and seasoned to suitably tasty and served with tomato sauce and aioli.
Here’s a basic guide that you can customize to your liking by adding spices. The smell of smoke gets more from the hot pepper and the heat from the chili.
– Patas bravas can be a main course or just a side dish, says the head of the restaurant in Más, Turku Toni Vanhala.
Vanhala reminds that a softer version is suitable with fish and a more hot one with meat.
The best result comes when the potato is firm and peeled. Peelings give the potato a delicious taste.
Last autumn, the Spanish-influenced Más opened in the new Hamburger Börs hotel in Turku in addition to Helsinki. The old man has noticed that potatoes have become a popular portion that is easy to divide and goes well with many other tapas.
These potatoes are also suitable as a main course. Eeva Paljakka
