What to serve with patatas bravas?
Traditionally, patatas bravas are served as part of a tapas, but you can get creative with how you eat them. Serve alongside honey wintered salador inside a Yorkshire pudding for a twist on a Spanish classic. In need of some more inspiration? Here are some other ways you can serve patatas bravas:
- Swap out classic roast potatoes for patatas bravas to spice up your Sunday roast dinner.
- Plate your patatas bravas alongside fried chicken wings and salad for a scrumptious midweek meal.
- If you’re after a filling meal, pair patatas bravas with other tapas dishes. Try it alongside a Spanish omelette (tortilla Espanola), garlic shrimp (gambas al ajillo) or ham croquettes (croquetas de jamon). You’ll be spoilt for choice!
- Try fish and chips the Spanish way! Swap out your regular chips with patatas bravas. It may just become your favourite way to eat a British classic. Handy tip: Save some of the patatas bravas sauce to dip your fish in.
