• 4 potatoes, cut into rough 3cm chunks
• oil for frying
• Brava sauce: 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp flour, 1 tbsp sweet paprika, ½ tsp hot paprika
• 250ml chicken stock
• 1 tsp sherry vinegar
• salt

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Boil the potato chunks 8 min until just tender, then drain and let them steam-dry completely. Wet potatoes never crisp.
2. Fry them in hot oil until deep golden, 6–8 min. Or roast at 220°C for 35 min.
3. Sauce: warm the oil, stir in the flour for 1 min, then both paprikas off the heat so they don't burn.
4. Whisk in the stock, return to the heat and simmer to a pourable sauce. Sharpen with the vinegar.
5. Salt the potatoes hard the moment they come out of the oil.
6. Sauce over the top, not underneath — you want the crunch to survive to the table.
