It is a traditional dish in most regions of Spain, usually enjoyed with beer or wine, served as a portion containing about a quarter kilogram of potatoes, or as a tapa or appetizer. The term bravas refers to the strength of the spice in this sauce. It is often considered one of the cheapest tapas due to the low cost of its ingredients and is also suitable for vegetarians.
