Fried Potatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized wedges or cubes. Rinse them in cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the potatoes in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy (about 5-7 minutes per batch). Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Make the Saffron Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, saffron threads (soaked in a tablespoon of warm water), lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the fried potatoes hot with a generous side of saffron aioli for dipping.
