GRILLED POTATOES WITH SPICY TOMATO AIOLI (PATATAS BRAVAS)

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot of cold water, add 2 tablespoons of salt and cook until potatoes are tender, but still firm, about 12 to 15 minutes. Drain, let cool and cut each potato into 3/4-inch thick slices.
• Heat the grill to high.
• Brush the tomatoes with the some of the oil and season with salt and pepper. While the potatoes are cooking, place the tomatoes on the grill and grill until charred on all sides and soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from the grill when charred.
• Place the tomatoes, mayonnaise, garlic, paprika and chipotle in a food processor and process until smooth, season with salt and pepper. Can be made 1 day in advance and refrigerated.
• Brush the potato slices on both sides with some of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes on the grill, close the cover and grill until lightly golden brown and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Carefully transfer the potatoes to a platter and garnish with the parsley. Serve the aioli drizzled over the potatoes or on the side.

PATATAS ALIOLI: ALIOLI POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes. Cut potatoes into 1/3- to 1/2-inch chunks as follows: Cut the potato lengthwise, then cut it lengthwise again. You should have 4 long pieces. Now, cut each of those into 3 to 4 pieces, cutting crosswise. This should give you nice bite-sized pieces, small enough to use a toothpick to skewer. Sprinkle with salt.
• Pour olive oil into a wide, deep frying pan with a heavy bottom. Heat the oil on medium-high heat until hot. To test the oil, carefully place one piece of potato in the oil; it is hot enough if the potato immediately fries. If there is no bubbling/frying, the oil has not reached the correct temperature and the potato will absorb too much oil.
• Carefully place the potato pieces in the hot oil and fry until golden, about 10 minutes. You may need to do this in batches since you don't want to crowd the pan. Use a slotted spoon or spatula to remove potatoes and set them aside on a paper towel to drain.
• Make the alioli sauce .
• Place the fried potatoes in a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the potatoes and toss carefully. Spoon potatoes with the sauce onto a serving plate. Serve warm with toothpicks.
