Cooking with Little Potato Company’s Creamer potatoes is always so easy. That is why we use them all the time! I have been on a tapas kick lately and so enjoying these Patatas Bravas. I love how simple they are to make with pre-washed and ready to go whole Little Potatoes. Patatas Bravas means spicy potatoes and these we have made so many times now.

The first time I had them was at a restaurant in Seattle called Tango Restaurant when we visited in February. They left a lasting impression on me and I have made them three times now, creating my own recipe.

Creamer potatoes are easy to use, just a quick empty of the bag onto a baking sheet. A drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of salt gives you the very start of this recipe.

The Boomer Gold that I used are the perfect size for an appetizer or tapas dish like this.

While the potatoes roast to perfection in 30 minutes, you can make your tomato sauce and have it simmer until thickened in the same time.

And then a simple aioli can be whisked up and placed into a squirt bottle if desired for easy drizzling!

What is left over can then be stored in the refrigerator for later use, as this will last for a week or two.

Do You Like It Spicy?

You can make the sauce as spicy as you like! Just add in more or less of the crushed red chili peppers. The 1/4 tsp. gives a little heat but nothing crazy!! I love the smoky flavor from the smoked paprika, so delicious!

Pass the aioli around as people may want to add on more to their liking. It is the perfect condiment to these scrumptious potatoes.

Whip up some delightfulMarinated Red Peppers with some bread and you have a complete meal in no time. One that will elevate that ho hum dinner to a completely new level and it is all vegetarian too! But these potatoes would do wonders to a great steakalso!
