1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thick slices or sticks, about 1/2 inch wide.
2
Soak the Cut Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
4
Fry the Potatoes
Remove the potatoes from the water, pat them dry with a towel, and carefully add them to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per batch.
5
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt to taste.
6
Make the Aioli
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, chili de arbol, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
7
Serve
Serve the hand cut fries hot with the chili de arbol aioli on the side for dipping.
