Papas Bravas—also known as Patatas Bravas—is typically served as a tapa in Spanish restaurants. In this adaptation, boiled potatoes are combined with chorizo, bell peppers, garlic, mushrooms, herbs and a bit of hot pepper heat for a heartier dish that can work in other dayparts. Try it for breakfast sided up to eggs or on the lunch menu to accompany a sandwich or salad.
