Spanish Fried Potatoes in Sauce - Patatas bravas
What's the big idea?
Tapas dishes aren't meals in themselves - the idea is to keep bringing out various different tapas over the course of the evening for people to eat as they're drinking (and enjoying the game!).
This is a classic tapas recipe. It needs to be served as quickly as possible once the potatoes are ready, so that they do not lose their crispiness.
