Patatas Bravas

Ingredients

Potatoes

~3 pounds russet potatoes, or more
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Sauce

1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1-2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 yellow onion, chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon chipotle powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 block tofu (any kind)
2 teaspoons white vinegar

To Serve:

fresh chopped parsley

Method

Chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and place in a pot. Cover with water and boil until tender, about 8-12 minutes depending on the size. Try not to over cook them! Remove from the heat and strain out the water.

In a large mixing bowl add the potatoes along with the spices and toss to coat. Spread the potatoes into a single layer in the air fryer basket and air fry at 400°F for 25-30 minutes or until crispy.

To prepare the sauce, add the peppers, tomatoes, onion, and garlic to a pan and sauté over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes, adding a little water or veggie broth as needed to keep from sticking. Mix in the chipotle powder, black pepper, and paprika. Sauté for a few more minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Add the contents of the sauté pan to a blender along with the tofu and vinegar. Blend for about 30 seconds or until smooth. If your sauce seems a little watery and you want it to be thicker, you can pour the blended sauce back into the pan and simmer on low until it has thickened. This will enhance the flavor of the sauce even more!

Finally, scoop some potatoes into a bowl, add a couple spoonfuls of sauce, and sprinkle on the parsley. Enjoy!
