The popularity of patatas bravas has been both a blessing and a curse.
Blessing: As Spain's most iconic tapa, you find versions of this dish in practically every establishment that serves food throughout the country.
Curse: A lot of places do not do them well. Most bars don't cook the potatoes twice, or use frozen pre-cut pieces. However, more often than not, the real culprit behind an abhorrent experience with this famous little plate is bravas sauce from a jar.
Solution: Make this cheap, simple, and easy dish at home.
