A classic Spanish tapas dish featuring crispy, golden-fried potato cubes served with a bold, flavorful sauce. Traditionally, the potatoes are paired with a smoky, slightly spicy tomato-based bravas sauce, and sometimes with a garlicky aioli for added richness. With its balance of crunchy texture, savory depth, and tangy heat, Patatas Bravas is a staple in Spanish bars and restaurants, celebrated as one of the most iconic small plates of Madrid’s tapas culture.
