Patatas Bravas

Patatas Bravas are Spain's most beloved tapas dish, consisting of crispy fried potato cubes served with a spicy tomato-based brava sauce and, depending on the region, a creamy aioli. The dish originated in Madrid in the 1960s and quickly spread to become a staple in bars across the country, with fierce regional debate about the correct sauce. The best versions are found in traditional tabernas in Madrid's La Latina neighbourhood.
