Patatas Bravas is a classic Spanish tapas dish featuring crispy fried potatoes topped with a spicy tomato sauce. The potatoes are cut into bite-sized chunks and usually deep fried until golden. This version is somewhat heathier as we've roasted the potatoes instead of frying them. This cuisine twisted bravas sauce is made by sautéing onions and garlic, then simmering them with chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, and Organic Berbere Spice instead of the traditional Chili Powder. The dish is garnished with fresh parsley, making it a flavorful and satisfying appetizer or snack.
