Ingredients
- 2 large or 4 medium potatoes cut into chunks
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoons sweet paprika
- 1-2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- Salt to taste
- 1/4 cup garlic aioli
Instructions
- Spray the potatoes lightly with olive oil. Preheat the air fryer or oven to 400° F(200°C). Cook the potatoes for 12 minutes in the air fryer or 25 minutes in the oven, until they are golden on the outside, but tender on the inside.
- Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add both paprikas and stir until combined.
- Add 1 tablespoon of flour and stir until combined, then cook for 1 minute.
- Add the broth slowly, stirring constantly to make a velvety sauce.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-5 minutes, until thickened but pourable. Add the vinegar and season to taste with salt.
- Drizzle the sauce and the garlic aioli over the potatoes and serve hot.

Notes
- It's very important to get crispy potatoes that are super soft in the center. I leave the peels on my potatoes (do what you like), and I cook them in the air fryer for about 20 minutes with some olive oil, salt and pepper.
- You can choose how spicy you make the sauce by using hot or mild paprika.
- The bravas sauce can be made in advance and reheated when needed, making this dish perfect for entertaining.
