In a saucepan, heat 올리브 오일 2큰술 and sauté 3 minced garlic cloves until fragrant. Add 2 tbsp tomato paste, 으깬 토마토 200g, 1 tsp smoked paprika, ½ tsp cayenne pepper, 그리고 1 tbsp white vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, then simmer until the sauce thickens into a glossy, spicy mixture.
- Final Assembly
Place the crispy potatoes in a serving bowl and drizzle the brava sauce generously over the top. You can also serve extra sauce on the side for dipping.
