Instructions
Prepare the bravas sauce by heating 3 tablespoons olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is soft. Turn off the heat and add the paprika, hot sauce and thyme, stirring well. Transfer to a bowl and add the ketchup and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Sprinkle potatoes lightly with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, fry the potatoes in oil until cooked and golden brown. Drain the potatoes on paper towels. Mix the potatoes with the sauce immediately before serving to ensure potatoes retain their crispness. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
