Fries

Black Garlic Aioli

Method

Preparing the Frites

1

First Cook

Peel and cut the russet potatoes into thick fries. Soak them in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

2

Initial Frying

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 300°F (150°C). Fry the potatoes in batches for about 5-6 minutes until they are tender but not browned. Remove and drain on paper towels.

3

Second Cook

Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the potatoes again in batches for 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

Blend Ingredients

5

Emulsify

With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture is thick and creamy. Season with salt to taste.
