Patatas Bravas: Spanish Tapas Dish

A delicious Tapas dish of potatoes in a bite-y tomato sauce. This recipe makes alot of sauce, enough for a good 1kg of potatoes. The sauce keeps in the fridge for a few days so just make enough potatoes for how many you're serving. This sauce is also very chunky, you can process it if you prefer a smoother sauce.
