Gather @olive oil{400%ml}, @canned tomato{1%can}, @cayenne pepper{0.5%tsp} and @sherry vinegar{1%tsp}.

For the sauce, soften the @onion{0.5} and @garlic{2%clove} in 2 tablespoons of oil, stir in the @smoked paprika{2%tsp} and cayenne for 30 seconds, then add the tomatoes.

Simmer the sauce 15 minutes, then blend smooth with the vinegar and season. Keep warm. ~{15%minutes}

Start the @potato{800%g} chunks in warm oil over medium heat and cook gently 15 minutes until tender inside. ~{15%minutes}

Raise the heat and fry until deep gold and crunchy at the edges, about 5 minutes more. ~{5%minutes}

Drain, @salt{} immediately, and pile onto a plate.

Ladle the brava sauce over the top — never underneath — and serve with toothpicks and cold drinks.
