Patatas Bravas actually means fierce Potatoes. These lovely things are moreish but perfect on a cold evening great for bonfire night

The Potatoes

In a deep oven proof tray place oil and chopped potato’s and Chopped chorizo, plus the salt and pepper

Toss the potatoes in the oil and seasoning and put in the oven at 180 for 15 mins

For the Spicy Tomato Sauce

Then add onions, garlic paprika and chilli coating all in the oil and cook for another 10 minuets

Then add the Tomato’s mix up together and cook for a further 10 to 15 minutes

Top with fresh herbs

You can spice them up if you wish too, by  adding more chilli

You can eat alone or as a side dish. Whilst it may not be the classic way to eat them, it is also nice topped with Cheese.
