Thank you! I appreciate that, and James too!! 😄

I find that par-boiling the potatoes for 2-3 mins, draining and then pan frying in olive oil till crisp makes very tender and crispy patatas😊definitely easier and uses less of your precious olive oil!

Thats the thing about food and the word "authentic", hardly anything nowadays is truly 100% authentic

Quite Spanish and close to my own version. For the sauce, I use all your ingredient except sugar. I add a splash of vinegar, garlic, and a little bit of chicken broth. ...and I make it extra hot! It's quite tasty to me.

Brilliant! This looks delicious 😍

Looks great!

*Excellent video Jim one of your best!* I was thinking of making these today! I love a good patatas bravas and yes, you are right. There is more than one way to make these as even Chef Sergi Arola has his own special version of patatas bravas.

Thanks mate!! Really appreciate that! This is indeed my point, in that there is no specific one authentic recipe and it all comes down to taste and preference. I am STILL trying varieties, across bars and restaurants, and I am often disappointed. For me, and this is MY personal preference, a Bravas needs to be spicy (or it aint brave enough) and it really needs to showcase the paprika - secondly the cook on the potato is hugely important for the perfect patatas!

Wow nice looks and yummy! 😍🤤👌❤

I absolutely agree on what you've said, for me it depends on how we cook with same ingredients. Great sharing of this recipe.

Great video it's hard to pin down a good recipe, going to give this one shot, I'm living near Alicante and our local restaurant blanches the spud cubes in boiling water and a cup of baking soda for a minute and a half took me a while to get that out of them, as you said many different techniques and recipes, many thanks for the potato recommendation it's very hard to find a good one out here.

Thanks for your nice comments. I have indeed spent years eating, and then trying to replicate a really good bravas, and like I say in the video this is taking elements from all of my favourite ones. If you get agria potatoes and try this, I am sure you won't be disappointed. Let me know how you get on!

Made this. It was extremely easy to follow thanks to the carefully crafted video. Tasted great and the technique for the potatoes was perfect. (Used Maris Piper). Great job, thank you!

When I prepare the sauce I don't add tomato sauce. Instead I just use paprika and a teaspoon or so of flour. I then add chicken/beef cubes and white wine which is of course optional. But it adds zest.

Great video thanks !

@@user-kx6qw2nd8v yeah they are another good potato, but it just depends on the country you are in. Funny thing is, here in Spain you can't easily find Yukon gold potatoes 😉

That looks amazing. Is the sauce kept warm while you cook the potatoes or is it meant to cool a little? Sorry I just read the rest of the comments.

Edward Skinner No problem. Yeah, like I said it can be just poured on cool and any leftovers you can jar and use with a variety of things. The other day I made a crispy chicken sandwich and used it instead of mayo! Delicious!

Like 200. Really I like the style of yours ,making Patata Brava. In my opinion potato tastes best with skin on. I have done my job. Hope you also respond . For a good cook language shouldn't be a barrier.😊👍🔔

Thanks for your nice comments. I agree, and like I said at the start of the video, I have taken inspiration from the many types of bravas I have eaten over the years, and found that this way of cooking the potato was defnitely the best (for me at least) ;)

Thank you saying that about AUTHENTIC bravas at the beginning. The way Bravas sauce was traditionally made, does not have tomato at all. They argue it was from the 15th century but even since the 1950's it was Oil, sweet and hot pimenton, chicken stock and pinch of flour.. I do understand that no one makes it the same way but It's frustrating to see all these so called AUTHENTIC Bravas recipes with tomato in it when I really shouldn't be in there.

No garlic in the sauce?

If you are going to do that, you would make a separate allioli and serve on top, like some bars and restaurants do - but not all over Spain.

Why do you pronounce the final 'VAS' of Patatas Bravas as though it were spelled 'bas', ie you say 'Patatas BraBAS'. Is that a correct Spanish pronunciation? Do the Spanish say the letter 'V; like it's a 'B'???

@PerfectBite

Жыл бұрын

Here in Spain, when speaking in Castellano, yes the V is always like a B. But in some countries, like in central and south America they will still pronounce it like a V. So now you know how to order a Bravas the correct way when in Spain ;)

Video barely started and you already went to the really bad bravas side. What the heck with the onions man, onion doesn't belong on bravas 😅😅😅 Sauce lacks heat, and potatos must be pealed The overall process isn't a bad try but those mistakes are big.

Some of the best bravas here in Spain uses onions, and some of the best ones I have eaten here (from some top restaurants) also have the skin on (lot of nutrients in the skin). Depends on whether your reference is the 'original' bravas sauce (from Madrid) which I find too oily and lacks any real taste. But like my intro states - there is NO one right way!
