How to Make Potatoes With Spicy Tomato Sauce Tapas

  1. Prepare the sauce: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook for 10 minutes, or until softened.
  3. Stir in 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Optionally, let the sauce cool slightly, then puree in a blender or food processor until smooth.
  6. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl. Set aside.
  7. Prepare the potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  8. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
  9. Add 1 pound small potatoes, halved or quartered if large. Cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown (about 8-10 minutes).
  10. Drain the potatoes on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  11. Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet.
  12. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender inside and crispy outside.
  13. Season the potatoes with sea salt to taste.
  14. Serve the crispy potatoes immediately with the spicy tomato sauce for dipping.
