Batatas espanholas picantes

Deliciosos cubos de batata são assados no azeite espanhol até ficarem dourados e crocantes por fora e leves e macios por dentro. O molho é uma maionese fresca, feita batendo gemas com vinagre e uma pitada de mostarda e incorporando aos poucos o magnífico azeite extravirgem espanhol, frutado, para obter uma maionese rica e aveludada, depois temperada com páprica defumada e sriracha doce, picante e com alho. De dar água na boca!
Ingredientes
- 850 g maris piper potatoes (cut into 2.5cm pieces)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 pinch salt and black pepper
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 3 large medium free range egg yolks
- 1/4 tsp mustard
- 1 pinch salt and black pepper
- 150 ml olive oil
- 1 1/2 tsp paprika
- 3 tsp sriracha
- 10 g fresh parsley (chopped)
Modo de preparo
- 1
--- To make the potatoes ---
- 2
Preheat the oven to 200C (180C fan, 400F). Tip the potatoes onto a large non-stick baking tray.
- 3
Drizzle with the olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Mix well so that they are coated all over, then spread the potatoes out into a single layer.
- 4
Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.

--- To make the sauce ---

While the potatoes are cooking, put the vinegar, egg yolks and mustard in a large, clean bowl and beat with an electric mixer until well combined.
- 7
While still beating at top speed, pour in a tablespoon of the olive oil and beat until it emulsifies – it will look thicker and creamier.
- 8
Keep adding the olive oil a little at a time, beating all the time. It will gradually become thicker and paler as you got. Resist adding lots at a time as this could split your mayonnaise and you'll have to start again. Once you have incorporated all of the oil, add the paprika and sriracha and beat through.

Season to taste.

If the sauce feels too thick at this stage, you may loosen it by beating in a tsp or so of cold water to give a thick sauce consistency.

Drizzle the sauce generously over the potatoes. Garnish with the fresh parsley and serve.
