Air fryer patatas bravas
Crispy air-fried potatoes with a proper smoked-paprika bravas sauce, tapas-bar crunch without the deep fry.
Ingredients
- Olive oil 3 tbsp
- Paprika 1 tbsp
- Tomato purée 1 tbsp
- Fresh basil
- Garlic 1 clove
- Onion 1
- Potatoes 900 g
- Chopped tomatoes 225 g
Method
- Soak the potatoes in just-boiled water for 30 mins, then drain and leave to air-dry for 5 mins.
- Heat the air fryer to 200C.
- Tip the potatoes into a bowl and drizzle over 1 tbsp of the oil and add 1/2 tsp each of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Mix to coat the potatoes all over, then tip into the air fryer basket and cook for 20-30 mins until crisp and golden.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a small pan over a medium-low heat and fry the onion for 8-10 mins until softened but not golden.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for a minute before adding the paprika and cooking for 30 seconds more.
- Stir in the tomato purée, cook for 1 min, then tip in the chopped tomatoes.
- Cook for 5-10 mins over a medium heat until thickened slightly.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, tip out onto a platter and pour over the tomato sauce. Sprinkle with the basil leaves, then serve.
