Main Ingredients

Garlic Aioli

Method

Preparing the Potatoes

  1. 1

    Cut and Soak

    Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Drain and Dry

    After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  3. 3

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the potatoes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Season

    While the potatoes are still hot, sprinkle with paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. Toss gently to coat.

Making the Garlic Aioli

  1. 5

    Prepare the Garlic

    Mince the garlic cloves finely or use a garlic press.

  2. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, egg yolk, and lemon juice until combined.

  3. 7

    Emulsify

    Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.

  4. 8

    Season

    Add salt to taste and adjust the consistency with a few drops of water if necessary.
