  • For extra crispiness, you can double-fry the potatoes. After the first fry, let them cool and fry them again until golden brown.
  • Adjust the spiciness of the tomato sauce according to your preference by adding more or less cayenne pepper.

Storage and Serving

  • Patatas Bravas are best served immediately after cooking for maximum crispiness.
  • If you have leftovers, store the potatoes and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
  • To reheat, place the potatoes in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through. Warm the sauce on the stovetop.
  • Serve the reheated potatoes with the warmed sauce and garnish with chopped parsley or aioli.
