PATATAS BRAVAS WITH CHEAT GARLIC AIOLI



Patatas Bravas with Cheat Garlic Aioli image

Patatas bravas are a classic tapas addition. Here, we cheat a little when making garlic aioli for a super easy, delicious dish!

Provided by Tiffany

Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
Sea salt and pepper
Fresh thyme and parsley
Spanish paprika
3 garlic cloves, pressed
1/2 cup high-quality mayonnaise
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine the pressed garlic, mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice, and sea salt and pepper to taste in a blender or food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Allow the aioli to sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This can be made ahead.
  • Boil the fingerling potatoes in salted water until they are just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and let dry.
  • Carefully slice the potatoes in half lengthwise once they are cooled.
  • Heat a cast iron pan with 3 tablespoons of olive oil until very hot. Work in batches (don't overcrowd the pan) and fry up the potatoes until each side is crispy and evenly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Using tongs, transfer the potatoes to drain on paper towels, and while they are still very hot, sprinkle with sea salt, pepper, paprika, and fresh thyme.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately while still warm on a bed of fresh parsley, sprinkled with additional parsley and thyme. Serve with the aioli. Enjoy!
