Steps
Steps
- 1Cut the potatoes into rough 3 cm cubes and rinse away the surface starch, then dry them completely.
- 2Make the sauce: soften the garlic in olive oil, stir in both paprikas and the flour off the heat so they do not scorch, then add the tomatoes and vinegar.
- 3Simmer 20 minutes, blend smooth and season with salt. It should be smoky and only gently hot.
- 4Fry the potatoes at 140°C for 8 minutes until soft but pale. Lift out and let them cool and steam dry for at least 20 minutes.
- 5Raise the oil to 190°C and fry them again for 4-5 minutes until deep gold and audibly crisp.
- 6Drain and salt immediately.
- 7Serve the potatoes in a heap with the warm sauce spooned over, and eat before the crust softens.
