Ingredients
  

  • 2 large or 4 medium potatoes cut into chunks
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoons sweet paprika
  • 1-2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/4 cup garlic aioli

Instructions
 

  • Spray the potatoes lightly with olive oil. Preheat the air fryer or oven to 400° F(200°C). Cook the potatoes for 12 minutes in the air fryer or 25 minutes in the oven, until they are golden on the outside, but tender on the inside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add both paprikas and stir until combined.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of flour and stir until combined, then cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the broth slowly, stirring constantly to make a velvety sauce.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-5 minutes, until thickened but pourable. Add the vinegar and season to taste with salt.
  • Drizzle the sauce and the garlic aioli over the potatoes and serve hot.

Notes

  • Make homemade aioli by combining 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 minced clove of garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice with salt and pepper to taste. Don’t skip this sauce—it’s worth the effort.
  • This recipe calls for 2 different types of paprika which adds a rich, authentic flavor to the bravas sauce, giving it that irresistible Spanish flair.
  • It's very important to get crispy potatoes that are super soft in the center. I leave the peels on my potatoes (do what you like), and I cook them in the air fryer for about 20 minutes with some olive oil, salt and pepper.
