Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Cut the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick).

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Fry the potatoes in batches for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Season the Fries

    Sprinkle with salt while still hot.

Making the Aioli

  1. 6

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine minced garlic, egg yolk, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.

  2. 7

    Emulsify the Mixture

    Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking continuously until the mixture thickens. Season with salt to taste.

Making the Ketchup

  1. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix together tomato paste, vinegar, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
