Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into approximately 1-inch cubes. Rinse the potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch and pat them dry with a clean towel.
In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the potato cubes to the pan. Fry the potatoes in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and set aside.
To prepare the tomato sauce, heat a tablespoon of oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the canned chopped tomatoes, paprika, cayenne pepper, red wine vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally.
Remove the sauce from heat and use an immersion blender to blend it until smooth, or alternatively, transfer the mixture to a blender and process until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
To serve, spread the crispy fried potatoes on a serving platter and generously spoon the spicy tomato sauce over the top.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your Dairy-Free Patatas Bravas!
