Fries

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thick strips (about 1/4 inch wide) to make hand-cut fries.

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

    Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  4. 4

    Season the Fries

    Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with a clean towel. Toss them in a large bowl with malt vinegar and smoked salt until evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Bake the Fries

    Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Make the Garlic Aioli

    In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt to taste. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once the fries are cooked, remove them from the oven and serve hot with garlic aioli on the side for dipping.
