Instructions

For The Potatoes:

  • Preheat oven to 500°
  • Add baking soda and salt to a pot of water and bring to a boil. Add potatoes, bring back to boil and cook in boiling water for about 5-10 (depending on size of your potatoes) until tender.  Drain potatoes in colander and return to warm pot and stir to dry off the potatoes and rough them up a bit.
  • Add 1/4 cup olive oil, salt and pepper and stir to fully coat the potatoes.
  • Arrange potatoes on baking sheet in a single layer.  Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove baking sheet from oven to flip the potatoes, then return to the oven and bake an additional 10-20 minutes, until potatoes are golden and crispy.  Cooking time will vary depending on your oven and size of your potatoes.
  • Meanwhile, cook vegan chorizo in frypan until cooked and browned according to package directions.  Set aside.

For The Salsa Brava:

  • Heat olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat.
  • Add onion and sauté until soft and golden. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add tomatoes, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, stir to combine.
  • Reduce heat and allow to simmer on low for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  • Allow sauce to cool some then transfer sauce to a blender to puree.

For The Garlic Aioli:

  • Add mayonnaise, lemon juice and garlic to a bowl and stir to combine.

To Serve:

  • Drizzle brava sauce and garlic aioli over potatoes.  Top with chorizo and parsley or cilantro (and fried egg, if desired).  Serve with additional sauce on side.
