Chef’s Tip:

Preparation


Marinating the Potatoes

1

Rinse Potatoes

Rinse the potato cubes under cold water to remove excess starch.

2

Dry Potatoes

Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

3

Season Potatoes

Toss the cubes in olive oil, salt, and pepper for even coating.

Preparing the Smoky Tomato Sauce

1

Heat Oil

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

2

Sauté Aromatics

Add the onion and garlic; sauté until translucent.

3

Add Seasonings

Stir in smoked paprika and crushed tomatoes, then add vinegar and sugar. Simmer to thicken.

Cooking Process


1

Frying the Potatoes

Heat a large pan over medium-high heat, add the potatoes, and fry until golden, turning occasionally.

Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure they crisp up.
2

Simmering the Sauce

Allow the sauce to simmer on low heat until it thickens, stirring occasionally.

If the tomato sauce is too acidic, add a tiny pinch more sugar to balance it out.
3

Mixing Everything

Once potatoes are crispy and the sauce is ready, toss them together gently in a bowl.

Never leave hot oil unattended. Keep a lid nearby …
