Potato with Boerewors (patatas Bravas Tapas)
"Patatas Bravas is a spicy potato dish that is traditionally served as part of a tapas menu. I wanted the comfort of a potato dish, paired with the lovely spicy-ness of our own boerewors. This dish was everything that I had hoped for......belly warming, spicy and cheap!!!"

Press the cloves into 1 onion and place the onion, potatoes and salt in a pot with some water. Cook the potatoes until soft, but not mushy. Heat some olive oil in a pan and fry the sausage until browned on both sides, remove from pan and keep warm. Now add the onion,garlic and paprika to the same pan and fry onion until it is soft. When the potatoes are cooked but not mushy, drain and add potatoes to the pan with the onion. Lower the heat and let the potatoes caramelize. Add a little water if needed. Finally add the tomato paste and sugar and season well. Cut the sausage in smaller pieces and add to the pan. Let the flavors just marry for a while and then sprinkle with fresh herbs and enjoy as a light meal.
