Smoked Paprika Aioli
Method
Preparing the Fries
Cut the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thick strips, about 1/4 inch wide.
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
Dry the Potatoes
Drain and rinse the potatoes, then dry them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.
Making the Smoked Paprika Aioli
Combine Ingredients
In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, smoked paprika, lemon juice, and salt until well combined.
Chill
Cover the aioli and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
