Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup red onion
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp hot paprika
- 1 tsp dried chili flakes
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 7/10 cup vegetable stock
- to taste salt
- 4 medium potatoes (russet or Yukon Gold)
- 4 slices fresh bread
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 428°F (425°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2Toss the cubed potatoes with 1 tbsp of olive oil, season with salt, and spread them in a single layer on the prepared sheet.
- 3Roast the potatoes for 25‑30 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp on the outside and tender inside.
- 4While the potatoes roast, heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- 5Add the sliced garlic and finely chopped red onion; sauté for 4‑5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned.
- 6Stir in the smoked paprika, hot paprika, dried chili flakes, and the tablespoon of flour; cook for 1‑2 minutes to toast the spices and eliminate raw flour taste.
- 7Gradually whisk in the vegetable stock, ensuring no lumps form; bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 8‑10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- 8Season the sauce with salt to taste; optionally blend with an immersion blender for a smoother texture.
- 9Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven; transfer them to a serving dish and drizzle the hot brava sauce evenly over the top.
- 10Serve immediately with slices of fresh bread on the side for dipping, and enjoy while the potatoes are still hot and crisp.
