"If you’ve been in Spain for more than five minutes, you’ll no doubt have tried this legendary tapas dish. Fried potatoes smothered in garlicky aioli and spicy tomato sauce are a heat-laced spin on the french fry. All over town you’ll find bravas that range from deep frozen with sauces straight out of a squeezy bottle to gourmet. Still, we’d sacrifice our firstborns borns for the chunky potatoes at Bar Canyí that come with less alioli and more of the crack-like house brava sauce made from—wait for it—tomato, garlic, sautéed onions, sweet and smoky ñora peppers, rosemary, chipotle, cardamom, ginger, vanilla, orange peel, and lime zest. No wonder the flavor has so much depth." - isabelle kliger
