Papas Bravas - Spanish Tapas
This dish is commonly served in restaurants and bars in Madrid, and throughout Spain as part of tapas. We use our new crop potatoes and our chili, that was grown last year, and made into a delicious alternative to black pepper.
Happy eating,

Potatoes
Our Potatoes, cubed, boiled in salted water until tender
Our Chili Powder
A blend of Sweet & Spicy Spanish Paprika
Aioli
1 Bunch Garlic Scapes, blanched in salted water, chilled/shocked
1 Tbls Dijon Mustard
3 Cloves Fresh Garlic
3 Cloves Poached Garlic
1 Egg Yolk
2 Tbls Water
2 ½ Cups Pure Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
Optional Garnish
Garlic Chips
TECHNIQUE & PREPARATION
Boiled potatoes are cooled and then fried until crispy. Combine the chili and paprika. Toss fried potatoes into the mixture and season with salt.
Finely chop garlic scapes then place them, with the garlic cloves and mustard into a blender. Pulse for 2 seconds. Add the egg yolk and water, and pulse on and off until blended. Turn on the blender and begin adding the olive oil in a thin stream. If it becomes too thick, thin it out with some room-temperature water and continue adding oil until you've used it all. Finish with pepper and salt to taste.
Serve potatoes on a warm plate and garnish with aioli and garlic chips if desired. More from Vincent
