2 pounds baking potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads, finely crushed
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
2 bottled roasted piquillo peppers or 1 bottled roasted red bell pepper, drained and chopped (1/2 cup)
1 1/2 cups unsalted tomato puree (fresh or canned)
1 tablespoon Spanish smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

1
Soak whole potatoes in ice water in refrigerator 2 hours; drain. Cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Steam potatoes, covered, 9 minutes or until just tender. Rinse with cold water; drain and pat dry.
2
Preheat oven to 450u00b0.
3
Combine 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and saffron in center of a jelly-roll pan. Bake at 450u00b0 for 3 to 4 minutes to bloom saffron. Scrape oil and saffron into a medium bowl using a rubber spatula. Return pan to oven. Add potatoes and 1/2 teaspoon salt to saffron oil, tossing to coat.
4
Spread potatoes on preheated pan; bake at 450u00b0 for 45 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, stirring twice.
5
While potatoes cook, heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onion; saute 4 minutes or until tender. Add garlic and bay leaf; saute 1 minute. Add roasted pepper, tomato puree, paprika, and ground red pepper; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6
Remove from heat; discard bay leaf. Place pepper mixture, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and vinegar in a blender. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender. Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters). Blend until smooth. Spoon sauce onto plates or a platter. Top with potatoes, and sprinkle with chives.
