Bravas Sauce Recipe: This Salsa Brava Recipe Has So Many Uses

Patatas bravas, meaning "spicy potatoes," is a popular dish from Spain. It's fried potatoes drizzled with a spicy sauce. The sauce, bravas sauce (aka salsa brava), complements the potatoes perfectly. But this Spanish sauce can be used in so many other ways!

Made with pantry ingredients, this easy bravas sauce can be used on chicken, fish, sandwiches, vegetables (it's wonderful over cabbage) and even a dip for french fries. Save the discarded garlic to use in homemade salad dressings.
