Method

Fries Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to make fries.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Fry the soaked and drained potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

  5. 5

    Drain and Season

    Remove fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt while hot.

Toppings Preparation

  1. 6

    Chop the Onion

    Finely chop the medium onion.

  2. 7

    Chop the Cilantro

    Rinse and chop the cilantro leaves.

Roasted Jalapeño Aioli Preparation

  1. 8

    Roast the Jalapeños

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place jalapeños on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until skin is blistered. Remove and let cool.

  2. 9

    Prepare the Aioli

    Once cooled, remove the stems and seeds from jalapeños. Blend with mayonnaise, garlic, lime juice, and salt until smooth.
