This dish is relatively quick to make but very satisfying at any time of day; it makes as good a smoky-spicy breakfast as it does dinner with a side salad. The flavors are a combination of two tapas favorites: patatas bravas and huevos rotos. You get the best of both worlds with the runny yolks, crisped potatoes, chile-based sauce, and creamy mayo.
Ingredients
2–3 servings3 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. olive oil, divided
1½ lbs. Yukon gold potatoes (about 3 medium), cut into 1-inch pieces
1¾ tsp. kosher salt, divided
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2–3 chiles from a can of chiles in adobo, depending on your preferred spice level, roughly chopped, plus 2 Tbsp. sauce from the can
1 medium tomato, roughly chopped
1 Tbsp. tomato paste
½ tsp. smoked paprika
½ tsp. ground cumin
2 Tbsp. sherry vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs
Chopped parsley and mayonnaise, for serving
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450°F. Place potatoes on a sheet pan and drizzle with 2 Tbsp. olive oil and season with 1 tsp. kosher salt. Toss to coat. Spread into an even layer and roast, tossing halfway through, until tender and starting to brown, 25 minutes.
Step 2
While the potatoes roast, in a large, oven-safe skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil over medium-high. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chiles, sauce, tomato paste, paprika, and cumin and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are coated and the mixture has darkened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off heat and immediately add sherry vinegar; scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan and stir to combine.
Step 3
Transfer the onion-chiles mixture to a food processor or blender (reserve the pan; there’s no need to wash it). Add the tomato and season with black pepper and ¾ tsp. salt. Pulse, scraping down the sides of the food processor as needed, until the mixture forms a mostly smooth, thick paste.
