Patatas bravas are crisp-edged potato cubes served with a spicy, smoky tomato sauce and a creamy garlicky drizzle. The contrast of crunchy potatoes, fiery sauce, and cool alioli is the definition of a good tapa.
They are the most-ordered tapa in Spain, and every bar guards its own sauce recipe — some fierce, some sweet, some loaded with cayenne. Serve them piping hot with toothpicks and cold beer.
