Patatas Bravas with Remoulade Sauce

ByJenn Giam Smith

Last night, I decided to go Tapas themed and made everything finger-friendly. I made cubed-sized Beer Batter Fried Fish, these Patatas Bravas, green beans, and instead of spicy garlic aioli, I went Remoulade for the dipping sauce (this is one of my husband’s favorite sauces, and eats it with almost everything).

Last night, I decided to go Tapas themed and made everything finger-friendly. I made cubed-sized Beer Batter Fried Fish, these Patatas Bravas, green beans, and instead of spicy garlic aioli, I went Remoulade for the dipping sauce (this is one of my husband’s favorite sauces, and eats it with almost everything).

So what exactly are they?

Patatas bravas means “spicy potatoes”. It’s a bar/restaurant dish from Spain, usually served as part of a very fun thing called Tapas. It typically consists of white potatoes that have been cut into 2-centimeter-wide cubes, fried, and served warm with a spicy sauce. This recipe is my version of this amazing Spanish appetizer ode to the fry.

Family Theme Nights

Back in March, we started doing theme nights once a week. At first, it was sort of all over the place, we did a theme of knights and dragons, a fiesta, and even a luau for one of my daughter’s 3rd birthdays. Eventually, it was clear, that it was going to be a LOOOOONG time before we could do anything outside of our own home So, we decided to change it up and make the theme dinners culture-based. I would make the dinner based on Authentic (or as authentic as I could make it) foods, and the kids would come up with music playlists (thank you Spotify) and trivia facts about the countries, regions, or cultures we had picked. We wrote down all the places we wanted to learn about, put them in a fishbowl, and started pulling papers (youngest to oldest child).

We have done everything from Greece to New Orleans. It’s been a lot of fun to try different foods and we have actually discovered a lot of them that we really enjoy. I definitely recommend trying it out for yourself.

I will work on doing a blog post to help you get started.

For my youngest daughter’s birthday weekend, it was Spain. So I started my food research. I decided to go the Tapas route. I made:

  • A charcuterie (meat and cheese) board
  • Olive Dish
  • Patatas Bravas with a garlic aioli
  • Chorizo

Obviously, the Patatas Bravas was the favorite. I mean, they’re basically cubed French Fries!

I have been informed this needs to be the new Friday Night Dinner Tradition, which I am totally for!

Recipe: Asian Cucumber Salad

I love, love, love this salad! Cucumbers are wonderfully cooling and even with that touch of spice, this salad is still a welcome snack during the summer heat. I went on a bit of a hiatus eating this salad, I grew up with my dad eating it a lot in the summers and when I was little, cucumbers were not my thing. but recently, I came back to it, want to try it again, and found a new love for it. I introduced it to my husband this year and he loves it so much that he said he wants to grow some cucumbers just so I can make it.

Brushing Teeth with Little Ones

For those of you that might be new here, I’m Jenn, a mom of 5 ranging from 3 years old all the way to 18, yes, that’s right, 18 years old. So I’ve been doing teeth brushing routines for a while now and one thing I’ve learned… once you think you have it down, one of your kids changes it up on you. My 2 oldest just needed fun toothpaste and they were good. My 3 youngest, on the other hand, need more than fun toothpaste to get through their teeth brushing.

Cranberry Bellini

Cheers! It’s the holiday season, which means it’s also cocktail season. So for part two of my cranberry recipes, I’m going to share my Wisconsin Twist on an Italian Classic, the Bellini! Bellinis are sparkling Italian cocktails made with two simple ingredients: Prosecco and white peach purée. They’re fizzy and refreshing, and perfect to change up with nice cool Cranberry Ganita instead of peaches.

How to: Use Fish Sauce

How to: Use Fish Sauce

OH FISH SAUCE, one of my favorite additions to food. I can’t imagine a world without it. but I have found, at least around my non-Asian peeps, that it is heavily misunderstood. The biggest misconception about fish sauce is that it’s “fishy.” And sure, it might smell fishy—I mean… it’s MADE OF FISH—but in cooking, it actually functions more like salt, and brings a deeper, savory, umami punch to whatever it’s splashed into (Even more than Soy Sauce that, IMHO, is a bit overly loved by Americans).
