Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Rinse and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato cubes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with black pepper.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp, flipping halfway through.
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the bravas sauce. Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a medium saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add minced garlic to the oil and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the paprika, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper, cooking for another minute.
Add the unsalted tomato paste and mix well before pouring in the low sodium vegetable broth.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly, about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the white wine vinegar.
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Place the potatoes on a serving platter, generously spooning the bravas sauce over the top.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
