Method

Heat 3 tbsp olive oil over low heat and mix in pimentón, chilli flakes, Tabasco, and vinegar.

Stir in the tomato sauce, season with salt and pepper, and thin with water if needed.

Boil the peeled potato pieces in salted water for 6-7 minutes until just tender.

Drain the potatoes thoroughly.

Heat 180ml olive oil in two non-stick pans and fry potatoes in a single layer for 10-12 minutes.

Turn potatoes regularly until they are crisp, golden-brown, and sandy in texture.

Transfer potatoes to plates, drizzle with sauce, and garnish with a pinch of pimentón.
