Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
Peel and cut the potatoes into 2 cm (about 0.8 inch) cubes.
Toss the potatoes in a bowl with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through.
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the sauce. Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a saucepan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Pour the canned chopped tomatoes into the saucepan, then add the red wine vinegar, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce the heat, and let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.
Remove the sauce from heat and blend it with an immersion blender until smooth, or leave it as is for a chunkier texture.
Once the potatoes are done, place them in a serving dish and generously spoon the sauce over the top.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the potatoes.
Serve immediately as a tapas dish or side, and enjoy your Vegan Patatas Bravas!
