One of the most celebrated standards of classic Spanish cuisine, patatas bravas consist of perfectly fried potatoes paired with a fiery tomato-based sauce. The dish is typically enjoyed during nighttime tapas-bar crawls, but this souped-up version from Ryan Poli of Chicago's Tavernita also feels right at home on the breakfast table. Crispy pan-fried chorizo and bits of fried egg join the potatoes, then the whole heap is tossed in a brava sauce that pulses with the heat of cumin and paprika. Get the recipe here.
