bee's homestyle patatas bravas
A vibrant Spanish tapas dish served at a friends' feast. These crispy fried potatoes are topped with a rich, homemade tomato 'salsa brava'. This particular version features a unique 'accidental' hint of cinnamon that adds a surprising warmth to the traditional smoky paprika and cumin flavors. Perfect for sharing alongside other tapas like tortilla and olives.
