For the Besa Fries

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    1. Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin fries. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Fry the Potatoes

    2. In a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the fries in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

  3. 3

    Make the Aioli

    3. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, buttermilk, chopped scallions, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

  4. 4

    Serve

    4. Serve the hot fries with the buttermilk and scallion aioli on the side for dipping.
