Spicy patatas bravas with halloumi and crispy garlic
Our spin on the Spanish classic tapas patatas bravas includes chunks of halloumi, fried until golden, and crispy chips of garlic, which add a bold burst of flavour and make an elegant garnish for lots of potato dishes. We think this dish works well at any time of the day, and would be lovely with a fried egg for brunch or breakfast.
