This Spanish tapa is a tasty snack. It can be used as a side dish or extended with a topping of some sausage slices, traditionally chorizo. If you had some leftover cooked chicken in the fridge you could shred this and scatter it across the potatoes.
Ingredients
3 | Potatoes (Main) |
2 cloves | Garlic, chopped |
1 | Onion, chopped |
1 Tbsp | Tomato paste |
1 pinch | Chilli flakes |
1 splash | Red wine vinegar |
1 to taste | Salt & freshly ground pepper |
1 | Canned tomatoes |
1 to serve | Aioli |
Directions
- Cut peeled potatoes into bite sized chunks. Blanch them in some boiling salted water for 5 minutes, drain and dry.
- You can now either shallow fry the chunks or toss them in a little olive oil and bake them in the oven until crisp.
- In a solid pan, using olive oil, gently cook some chopped garlic, some finely chopped onion and a few chilli flakes.
- If you have it, add a tablespoon of tomato paste. If you have some red wine vinegar, add a splash of this.
- Add a can of tomatoes and turn up the heat. Cook this until the sauce is thickened, then season well.
- Mix the cooked potatoes through the sauce and serve with a "fake" aioli made by blending crushed garlic through a bought mayo. Offer toothpicks to eat with
