Las Patatas Bravas, a popular tapas dish in Spain comes in many variations. Some with Alioli sauce, or a spicy tomato sauce that is bound to be a hit. However, for today I will start you off with a simple variation of Las Patatas Bravas for your enjoyment. This variation is made using the spices Saffron and Hungarian Paprika.

Ingredients

1 lb of potatoes
3 tbsp. hot paprika or smoked paprika
1 tsp. of salt
2 to 3 tbsp of saffron
Olive oil

Instructions

Chop up the potatoes in small slices or pieces and place them in boiling water. Add the saffron to the boiling water. Boil until the potatoes are soft. Drain, and add the potatoes in a pan with paprika and olive. Cook until you get a reddish colour. Remove from pan and serve.

Note: Depending on the variation of the paprika using, the potatoes may not turn red, but a yellowish colour. It is still good.

Slight variation: after cooking in the pan place the potatoes on a cooking sheet and have them bake in the oven. This is if you prefer a more crispier taste. However, it isn’t necessarily.
