PATATAS BRAVAS

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until just cooked through, about 20 minutes. Strain and allow to cool. Remove skin with a paring knife, cut into 1-inch pieces, and set aside.
• Heat canola oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot to 325 degrees F.
• Carefully fry the potatoes until just cooked and a light tan color, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside to dry on a sheet pan or plate lined with paper towels.
• Increase the heat of the oil to 475 degrees F. Return the potatoes to the oil and fry until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on the paper towel-lined plate. Season generously with salt and smoked Spanish paprika.
