1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips for fries or into thin rounds for chips.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch for extra crispiness.
3
Make the Chipotle Aioli
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, lime juice, and garlic powder. Mix well until smooth and set aside.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
5
Fry the Potatoes
Remove the potatoes from the water and pat them dry with paper towels. Carefully add a handful of potatoes to the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 4-6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6
Season the Fries/Chips
While the fries or chips are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.
7
Serve
Serve the fries or chips hot with the chipotle aioli on the side for dipping.
