Buffalo Patatas Bravas
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Buffalo hot sauce
- 1 small clove garlic, grated
- 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika, plus more for sprinkling
- 4 large russet potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
- Peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
- Kosher salt
- 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese (about 1 1/2 ounces)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley and/or celery leaves
- Mix the mayonnaise, hot sauce, garlic and paprika in a bowl; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Put the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch; add the vinegar.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until fork-tender, 5 minutes.
- Drain and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to dry.
- Heat about 1/4 inch of peanut oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Add half of the potatoes and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to fresh paper towels to drain; season generously with salt.
- Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
- Transfer the potatoes to a platter and top with the prepared sauce, blue cheese and parsley.
- Sprinkle with more paprika.
