We know… patatas bravas is normally a fried potato dish. This is a spin on the heavy, fried, unhealthy classic version. This recipe is fresher and brighter yet just as satisfying! Go ahead, fry or bake the potatoes and toss the sauce through. Because seriously, who doesn’t love potato salad? And no eggs means you can take this to picnics and have a light, tangy, spicy alternative that won’t go toxic in the sun.

Ensalada con Patatas Bravas: Spanish Potato Salad [Vegan, Grain-Free]

Ingredients

For the Potato Salad:

2 pounds and 3 ounces of Kipfler potatoes
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced into strips
2 large tomatoes, seeds removed and sliced into thin strips
11.5 ounces cooked or canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
Small handful flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped

For the Sauce:

4 tablespoons avjar (red bell pepper relish)
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1/2 tomato, seeds removed
1 large garlic clove
1 teaspoon chili flakes
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Add the salt and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes can be just pierced through with a knife. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
To make the bravas dressing, blend all of the ingredients except the olive oil in a blender. With motor running, slowly add the oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Add the remaining salad ingredients to the potatoes and pour over enough dressing to coat really well. The potatoes will soak up quite a lot of the dressing, so add a little more than you think it needs. Check and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.

AUTHOR & RECIPE DETAILS

Shannon Martinez and Mo Wyse are the dynamic duo behind Melbourne’s award-winning vegan restaurant Smith & Daughters, which has twice been voted Time Out People’s Choice Restaurant of the Year (2016 and 2014). Chef Shannon has cooked since she can remember due to the influence of her Spanish paternal family. With her outside the square innovative talents she has contributed to kitchens across Melbourne for nearly 20 years. She eats meat, but has perfected her vegetarian – and latterly vegan – repertoire in pubs over the years. She says this is what makes her food so good; she tries to replicate the tastes and textures of meat, rather than putting out bland, predictable, vegan food. Mo (who is vegan) is a Seattle and New York expat. She studied journalism and has a background in PR and TV production, but has dedicated her passion for creative, plant-based food to creating Smith & Daughters, where she is the logistical, front-of-house and marketing brains behind this gun team.
