Patatas Bravas / Sauteed Potatoes

I made this dish as an afterthought to go with the Baked Shrimp in Tomato Feta Sauce, normally i would serve it with a huge chunk of crusty bread, but as i'm now doing Slimming World and the bread would be lots of syns, i figured syn free sauteed potatoes would be better, and the base sauce for the Shrimp dish would make a great Patatas Bravas sauce!!

Syn free on Extra Easy.

This dish can be served as a main course, starter or as a small plate Tapas dish.
The base sauce also makes a great topping for Patatas Bravas, which is why i serves the sauteed potatoes with it.
