Chile-Rubbed Tofu with Fried Potatoes and Tomato Sauce

  1. In a small skillet, cook the garlic, anchos and guajillos over moderate heat, turning, until the chiles are toasted and the garlic is lightly charred, about 2 minutes for the chiles and 5 minutes for the garlic.
  2. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Heat the 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet until shimmering.
  4. Add the onion and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Peel the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet along with the toasted chiles, the pineapple and orange juices and the oregano.
  6. Simmer over moderate heat until the juices have reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a blender and puree.
  8. Season with salt.
  9. Spread half of the chile rub all over the tofu, cover and refrigerate overnight.
  10. Refrigerate the remaining chile rub separately.
  11. In a saucepan, cover the potatoes with cold water and boil over moderately high heat until tender, about 20 minutes.
  12. Drain and let cool.
  13. Preheat the oven to 425.
  14. Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch-thick wedges and transfer them to a large rimmed baking sheet.
  15. Drizzle 4 tablespoons of the olive oil over the potatoes and toss to coat.
  16. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer, season with salt and pepper and bake for 20 minutes.
  17. Turn the potatoes and bake for 15 minutes longer, until crisp.
  18. Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  19. Add the garlic and onion and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 6 minutes.
  20. Add the paprika, cumin and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
