  • 3 large carrots, cubed

  • 1 large turnip, cubed

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup white sugar

Patatas bravas are fried potatoes that are fiercely textured, fiercely flavored, fiercely presented, and fiercely enjoyed. How fierce is really up to you and your inner Spaniard. There are as many patatas bravas recipes as homes in Spain, and this is nothing more than my latest rendition.

French Onion Soup with Homemade Beef Stock

French Onion Soup with Homemade Beef Stock

While making beef stock from scratch is time-consuming, it really makes the best beef broth for French onion soup! Of course, you can always buy beef stock, too (if you are in a hurry)! This serves four as a main course with crunchy French bread and a simple side salad (try mixing tender butter lettuce, sweet green and red leaf lettuce, some crunchy iceberg, confetti light green cabbage, and grated carrot with candied pecans and a light balsamic or Italian dressing).
