These crispy potatoes topped with garlic aioli are totally addictive!!

Patatas bravas are a classic tapas addition. Here, we cheat a little when making garlic aioli for a super easy, delicious dish! 

Ingredients :

• 1 1/2 pounds potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Sea salt and pepper
• Fresh thyme and parsley ( optional)
• paprika
• 3 garlic cloves, pressed
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup high-quality mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Directions :

Combine the pressed garlic, mayonnaise, yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and sea salt and pepper to taste in a blender until creamy. Allow the aioli to sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. 

Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and let dry.

Cut the potatoes into wedges and let cool.

Heat a cast iron pan with 3 tablespoons of olive oil until very hot. Work in batches and fry up the potatoes until each side is crispy and evenly browned, about 2 minutes per side.

Using tongs, transfer the potatoes to drain on paper towels, and while they are still very hot, sprinkle with sea salt, pepper, paprika, and fresh thyme. Serve the potatoes immediately while still warm on a bed of fresh parsley, sprinkled with additional parsley and thyme.

Serve with the aioli. Enjoy!
