Lemon Aioli

Truffle Fries

Sliders Assembly

Method

Prepare the Truffle Fries

  1. 1

    Cut the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into thin fries.

  2. 2

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cut potatoes in batches and fry until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Season the Fries

    Drizzle the hot fries with truffle oil, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss to coat evenly.

Make the Lemon Aioli

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 5

    Mix Well

    Whisk all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed and set aside.

Prepare the Walleye Fillets

  1. 6

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of cornmeal, salt, and black pepper in the last.

  2. 7

    Bread the Fillets

    Dredge each walleye fillet in flour, dip in the beaten eggs, and then coat with the cornmeal mixture.

  3. 8

    Fry the Fillets

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the breaded fillets until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside on paper towels.

Assemble the Sliders

  1. 9

    Prepare the Buns

    Slice the slider buns in half and lightly toast them if desired.

  2. 10

    Build the Sliders

    Spread a generous amount of lemon aioli on the bottom half of each slider bun. Place a piece of crispy walleye on top, followed by a handful of chiffonade romaine. Top with the other half of the bun.
