Method

Fries Preparation

  1. 1

    Cut and Soak Potatoes

    Wash and cut the Russet potatoes into thin strips. Soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Drain the potatoes and pat dry. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt.

Aioli Preparation

  1. 3

    Make Aioli

    In a bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, egg yolk, and lemon juice. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the mixture thickens. Season with salt to taste.

Ketchup Preparation

  1. 4

    Make Ketchup

    In a bowl, combine tomato paste, sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
