Patatas bravas
- Media: Patatas bravas
Patatas bravas (Spanish: [paˈtatas ˈβɾaβas], also called patatas a la brava or papas bravas, all meaning "spicy potatoes") is a dish native to Spain.[1] It typically consists of white potatoes that have been cut into 2-centimeter (0.79 in)-wide cubes, then fried in oil and served warm with a spicy "brava" sauce.
Visitors to Spain often confuse it with the similar dish patatas mixtas, which consists of fried potatoes served with both brava sauce and aioli sauce.[citation needed]
The brava sauce is primarily paprika (using high-quality Spanish pimentón de la Vera) and olive oil based,[citation needed] with some regions adding tomato, although this can be contentious.
The dish is commonly served in restaurants and bars throughout Spain as a variety of tapa.[2]
Consumption
Patatas bravas are served in bars in servings that contain approximately a quarter kilo of potato.[citation needed] It is frequently consumed as part of tapas.
The same "sauce" is sometimes served over mussels. This dish is known as mejillones en salsa brava.[citation needed]
