PATATAS BRAVAS

Steps:

• Parboil the potatoes over a medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are starting to get tender but still hold their shape. Drain in a colander and leave to steam dry until cool.
• Meanwhile, put a pan on a lowheat and start your bravas sauce. Add a lug of olive oil and, once hot, add the chopped onion and sliced garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft but not coloured. Add the chillies, carrot and thyme leaves and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the tinned tomatoes, sherry vinegar and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the carrots are soft and the sauce is lovely and thick.
• While your sauce simmers, put a large frying pan on a medium heat and add 0.5cm of olive oil. Cut your potatoes into large bite-sized chunks. Once the oil is hot, carefully add your potatoes to the pan. Cook them for around 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden all over. You'll need to do this in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan. Add your garlic and rosemary leaves to the pan for the last minute of cooking.
• Transfer the potatoes, garlic and rosemary to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain, then scatter over the paprika, fennel seeds and a good pinch of salt and toss together until well coated.
• Carefully tip your cooked sauce into a blender, or use a hand blender, and whiz until lovely and smooth. Have a taste, and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve in a jug next to your potatoes or, if youwant to be more traditional, pour the sauce over your potatoes before serving and toss together like I've done here. If you have any leftover sauce, use it with pasta or on a homemade pizza.

SPANISH POTATOES IN GARLIC MAYONNAISE RECIPE:

Steps:

• Thoroughly wash the potatoes. Place them, unpeeled, in a saucepan and cover with cold water.
• On high heat, bring to a rolling boil and cook the potatoes, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the quality and size of the potatoes. Prick with a knife to check for doneness. When cooked, turn off the heat and leave the potatoes to temper in the water another 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove from the water and let cool. Peel and cut the cooled cooked potatoes into 3/4-inch chunks
• Garlic Cloves: When preparing garlic for cooking, check for and remove any green sprouts from the center of the garlic clove, as the sprouts add an unpleasant bitterness. To remove the green sprouts, cut the garlic in half, pull out the sprout from each side, and discard.
• In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and parsley. The mayonnaise should be a little thin to combine smoothly with the potatoes, so dilute with a little sherry vinegar or fresh-squeezed lemon juice, if necessary. Gently fold in the potato chunks. Season with salt and let sit for approximately 20 minutes at room temperature before serving.
• Salad may be made ahead of time and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before servine.
