Patatas Bravas for the Air Fryer

Step 1: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2: In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil until they are evenly coated. Season with salt.

Step 3: Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

Step 4: Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for about 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket or tossing the potatoes halfway through to ensure even cooking. They should be golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the bravas sauce. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 6: Add the minced garlic, paprika, and cayenne pepper to the saucepan. Cook for an additional minute, stirring continuously to toast the spices.

Step 7: Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and white vinegar. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt to taste.

Step 8: Once the potatoes are done, transfer them to a serving dish. Drizzle the bravas sauce over the potatoes, or serve it on the side.

Step 9: Garnish the Patatas Bravas with chopped fresh parsley. You can also serve them with a side of mayonnaise or aioli for dipping.
