Patatas Bravas - Delicious Potatoes Spanish Way

Hello friends,


Here is my first entry for my event A.W.E.D. - Spain started by DK. I was looking for something to prepare which would become my family favorite and here is the perfect recipe. 


They are a type of Tapas, which means appetizer in Spanish. These little potatoes are probably the most traditional tapas food in Spain. They can be found almost everywhere. These are mostly served as one of the most common bar snack.


When I was looking for this recipe, I found various recipes, so I just kind of combined a few and made my own version of this potato recipe.
