Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of cold water for about 15 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and contributes to crispiness.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean towel to prevent oil splatter.

Step 5

Toss the potato sticks with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the fries out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Avoid overcrowding the sheet to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn the fries over with a spatula and bake for another 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy.

Step 8

While the fries bake, prepare the garlic aioli sauce. Mince the garlic cloves and mix with salt to form a paste.

Step 9

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until well combined.

Step 10

Slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the egg mixture while continuously whisking to create an emulsion. The mixture should thicken and resemble mayonnaise.

Step 11

Stir in the garlic paste and cayenne pepper. Adjust salt and lemon juice to your taste.

Step 12

Once the fries are done, let them cool slightly and serve immediately with the garlic aioli sauce.
