NOTE: the aioli has raw eggs. You could just mix the garlic and lemon juice with mayonnaise if you prefer.

These were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less paprika.

These patatas bravas were a hit at my party! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the sauce was incredibly flavorful but not too spicy. I'll definitely be making these again!
