Frites With Aioli Food

HAND CUT RUSSET FRIES WITH DIJON AIOLI

Steps:

• Place the egg, egg yolk, Dijon mustard, garlic puree, salt, and pepper in a food processor fitted with a metal blade and process until well blended.
• With the processor running, slowly pour in the oils, gradually increasing the amount added as the sauce thickens. As soon as the sauce is very thick, thin with lemon juice, followed by the remaining oil. Place in a medium bowl and check for seasoning, adding more lemon juice, salt and pepper if necessary.
• Peel potatoes and slice into 1/4-inch slices. Cut each slice in 1/4-inch strips, and rinse in cold water.
• Heat the oil to 315 to 325 degrees F.
• In 4 to 5 small batches, blanch the fries for approximately 8 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
• When ready to serve, heat oil to 350 to 375 degrees F.
• In small batches, fry blanched potatoes for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Drain well, and toss in mixing bowl with chopped parsley and salt and pepper. Serve with Dijon aioli.

CRISPY HOME FRIES WITH PIMENTO AIOLI

Steps:

• For the fries: Fill a large Dutch oven or a heavy bottomed saucepan two-thirds of the way with the oil. Heat over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.
• Add 2 quarts water with 2 tablespoons salt in a large pot and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes, bringing the water back to a boil, and cook, about 5 minutes. The potatoes will be soft on the outside while still firm in the center. Drain in a colander and add to a large bowl to toss with the cornstarch and a heavy pinch of salt.
• Add the potatoes to the hot oil a few at a time, stirring and flipping constantly until they are golden brown on all sides, about 4 minutes. Remove to the wire rack, sprinkle with salt and repeat with the remaining potatoes.
• For the pimento aioli: Add the mayonnaise, pimentos, red wine vinegar, garlic, chipotle and paprika to a food processor and blend until smooth.
• Add potatoes to a serving bowl and serve with the aioli drizzled over the top and on the side for dipping.
