Yield: 2 serves
Materials
- 1 pound potatos cleaned
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 8 cups water
- 1 cup canola oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 shallot minced
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha or your favorite hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Spanish paprika
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 teaspoon salt to taste
- 1 pinch cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by adding water to a medium-sized pot. Add about a tablespoon of salt, then add in the whole potatoes. Bring this to a medium-high heat, and cook for about 25 minutes, or just until the potatoes begin to soften.
- Drain the potatoes and set aside to let them cool. Once the potatoes have cooled, cut them in half, then cut the halves in half. Basically you are shooting for one-inch cubes. During this time, make the sauce.
- To another pot, add the olive oil, and bring up to medium-high. Add in the garlic and shallot and let those begin to sweat for a few minutes, stirring along the way. Toss in the paprika, Sriracha or hot sauce, and tomato sauce. Give a good stir and let the sauce simmer for a few more minutes, then set aside to cool.
- Once the sauce has cooled a bit, add in the mayonnaise. Stir, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and place in the refrigerator until you are ready to use on the potatoes.
- Place the potatoes onto your serving dish, then drizzle the sauce all over the potatoes. Now, dig in!
