Ingredients
Spicy Dipping Sauce, optional:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 large russet potatoes
- 2 cups canola oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Spicy Dipping Sauce:
In a small bowl mix together all of the ingredients until well combined. Set aside.
Peel and cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Add the potatoes and salt to a large pot of cold water over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then add the potatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain in a colander. Let sit out on the counter for 20 minutes to allow to thoroughly dry.
Heat the oil in a high sided skillet over medium-high heat to about 350 degrees F. Fry the potatoes until golden brown on all sides. (Reserve 1 cup potatoes for Round 2 Spanish Tortilla recipe.) Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl and serve with the spicy dipping sauce.

I was very recently in Barcelona and stopped at a little place on La Rambla for tapas. One of the offerings was spicy potatoes, which I tried. They were quite good. This recipe very much reminded me of that, so it's a great way to relive a fabulous trip. This tastes like what I had in Barcelona, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. After our trip, I came home and did some searches for recipes that may be similar to foods I ate in Spain, and this came up. Tried it last night; we'll be having it again tonight.

I made this sauce and it was so delicious! I fry potatoes like this at home but I don't usually boil them in water first, i cut them up and fry them, which works just fine. I think it just takes a little longer. I made this sauce with ketchup instead of tomato paste because I didn't have any, and a few dashes of cayenne instead of red pepper flakes. It is a great sauce and would probably be good for other snack foods like pretzels, potato chips, and even chicken fingers. Thank you Sandra :!

Roger, you are totally right the directions are misleading. The way I do my potatoes is I cut them up put them in a pot of cold water. Bring the pot to a boil and then start timing. I haven't make this recipe so I can't rate, but it sounds good
