What does unas bravas mean?

ExpressionNeutro

patatas bravas

Potatoes cut into cubes, fried, and covered in a spicy sauce that differs in every bar and about which everybody has a view. They are ordered in the plural and without the word potatoes: unas bravas. They are the most ordered tapa in Spain and they bear no resemblance to crisps or to chips on the side — though to anyone counting, they are still potatoes.

Ponnos unas bravas y una de croquetas.
The default order, in almost any bar.
