Patatas Bravas

Spain's most popular tapa, found on nearly every bar menu in the country. Crispy cubes of fried potato are drenched in salsa brava, a spicy tomato-based sauce with smoky paprika, and often accompanied by a garlicky alioli. Every region and every bar has its own closely guarded recipe.
