Fries

Mitmita Aioli

Method

Fries

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even-sized sticks, about 1/4-inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.

  3. 3

    Heat the Tallow

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

  4. 4

    Prepare the Aromatics

    Finely chop the fresh rosemary and mince the garlic cloves.

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel. Carefully add the potatoes in batches to the hot tallow. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

  6. 6

    Season the Fries

    Once the fries are cooked, remove them from the tallow and place them on a paper towel-lined plate. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt, chopped rosemary, and minced garlic.

Mitmita Aioli

  1. 7

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mitmita spice blend, lemon juice, and minced garlic clove. Mix until well combined.

  2. 8

    Season to Taste

    Add salt to the aioli to taste, mixing thoroughly until the seasoning is evenly distributed.
