  "introduction": "Half potatoes, half sweet potatoes, parboiled together for 7 minutes, salted and oiled in three light passes in a big bowl, then roasted on wire racks. They come out like potato nuggets. Serves 2 adults and a toddler.",
  "ingredients": [
    "3 huge potatoes, peeled and cubed",
    "3 huge sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed",
    "Salt, for the parboil water",
    "About ¾ tsp fine salt, in three ¼ tsp passes",
    "Olive oil, for drizzling",
    "(optional) brava sauce and aioli from Patatas Bravas"
  ],
  "equipment": [
    "Vegetable peeler",
    "Knife and cutting board",
    "Large pot",
    "Colander, to drain",
    "Big bowl",
    "Rubber spatula",
    "2 wire racks, each over a sheet pan"
  ],
  "method": [
    "Put the potato and sweet potato cubes in one pot of cold salted water. Bring to a boil and simmer 7 minutes, until the edges soften. Drain and steam-dry a few minutes.",
    "Heat the oven to 425°F.",
    "Put all the cubes in a big bowl. Sprinkle about ¼ tsp fine salt over all of them, drizzle a little olive oil, and fold with a rubber spatula. Do this three times in all. Fold gently so the cubes stay whole: only the salt should rough up the surface, and that is what gives the texture.",
    "Spread them in one layer on the 2 wire racks. Roast 30 minutes.",
    "Optional, not tried yet: 1 minute under the high broiler should make the crust crunchier.",
    "Serve hot, plain or with the brava sauce and aioli."
  ],
  "notes": [
    "The sweet potatoes take the same 7-minute parboil as the potatoes when they share the pot.",
    "¾ tsp of salt seasons this whole batch: savory, not too salty."
