  • 1 tbspcornflour
  • 1 tbspflaked sea salt

This time, it's Spain. Everyone's favourite tapas is getting an iconic American twist by incorporating some home made tater tots.

Method

  • Peel the potatoes and cut into small chunks - don't worry about making them pretty!
  • Place them in a deep sides saucepan and cover with oil, then heat until the oil is about 170° and fry until just golden brown, then turn the heat right down until they are cooked through.
  • Chuck them in the food processor and pulse a few times - alternatively, wait until they've cooled a bit and dice them by hand. Mix with the cornflour and shape into small cylinders.
  • Reheat the oil to 170°C and briefly fry the tots until crispy. Serve with the bravas sauce (essentially a paprika loaded tomato sauce thickened with flour and blitzed until smooth) and the aioli.
