Chips

Method

Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Taro

    Peel the taro root and slice it thinly using a mandoline or sharp knife to achieve even slices about 1/8 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add the sliced taro to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-5 minutes or until the chips are golden brown and crispy.

  4. 4

    Drain and Season

    Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

Spicy Aioli

  1. 5

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, Sriracha sauce, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 6

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the aioli and adjust seasoning with more Sriracha for heat or salt as needed.

  3. 7

    Chill Before Serving

    Cover the aioli and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
