Ultimate Comfort Food Sandwich
Recipe by: Albert Bevia
Inspired by a local bar-restaurant in Spain, this droolworthy sandwich is the perfect combination of roasted potatoes, brava sauce, garlic mayo aioli, and a fried egg. Hot and sweet smoked Spanish Paprika adds a burst of flavor while chopped fresh parsley ties the ingredients of the crunchy baguette sandwich together for a seriously tasty result.

Instructions

Begin by getting the potatoes ready, peel, wash & pat dry the potatoes, cut each one into small 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick pieces, add them into a bowl, drizzle in 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and season with sea salt & black pepper, toss together to coal all the potatoes, transfer into a baking tray lined with parchment paper, make sure they´re all in a single layer, add into a preheated oven, bake + broil option (bottom + top heat) 210 C - 410 F.
-
While the potatoes are roasting, make the rest of the elements for the sandwich, grab large fry pan, add in 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil and heat with a medium heat, after 3 minutes remove the pan from the heat, add in 2 tsp of Kiva's Sweet Smoked Spanish Paprika, 1 tsp of Kiva's Hot Smoked Spanish Paprika and 1 tbsp cornstarch, whisk together until there are no lumps, then heat the pan once again with a medium heat, slowly add in 1 cup vegetable broth while whisking continuously, once all the broth has been incorporated, add in 1/2 tsp sherry vinegar and 1/2 tsp sea salt, continue to whisk together for 5 to 6 minutes or until the mixture has slightly thickened up, turn off the heat and set aside, the sauce will thicken as it cools off.
-
To make the garlic mayo aioli, add in 1/2 cup mayonnaise into a large bowl, finely grate in 1 clove of garlic, add in 1 tsp lemon juice and 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, lightly season with sea salt & black pepper, whisk together until you get a creamy sauce, set aside.
-
Once there is about 10 minutes left on the potatoes, make the fried eggs, heat a small nonstick fry pan with a medium heat and add in 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, after 3 to 4 minutes and the oil is hot add in one egg, let it sit for 1 minute, then slightly tilt the pan and using a spatula splash the hot olive oil over the egg to cook the top part, just for a couple of seconds so the yolk doesn't overcook, remove from the pan, continue to cook your eggs in this style until they´re all done.
-
After 40 minutes the potatoes should be perfectly roasted, remove from the oven, you can always pierce them with a toothpick to ensure they´re done.
-
Cut 1 baguette into 5 inch (12 cm) pieces and then each piece in half lengthwise.
-
On the bottom part of the baguette, add a handful of the roasted potatoes, whisk the brava sauce together and then pour a generous portion over the potatoes, along with a generous portion of the garlic mayo aioli, top off with a fried egg and some finely chopped fresh parsley, enjoy!
