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.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 2 inches. Season with salt. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until just tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Cook the bacon in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings into a small bowl and set aside. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Wipe out the skillet and return to medium-high heat. Heat the remaining bacon fat and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the skillet. Add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste, and arrange in a single layer. Cook, without stirring, until well browned on 1 side, about 4 minutes. Using a spatula, turn the potatoes in small sections, and continue cooking, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes or until well browned. Stir in the onions, heat through, and sprinkle with the parsley and cayenne, if desired. Transfer to a warm platter and crumble the bacon on top, serve. Copyright 2005 Television Food Network, G.P.

QUICK & CRISPY HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Arrange potato pieces evenly on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high until just tender, about 4 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Cut potatoes into bite-size chunks.
• Heat butter and olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When butter melts and starts to turn brown, swirl the pan and add the potatoes. Shake pan to arrange in an even layer. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
• As potatoes brown, toss them and keep turning them every few minutes until they are crusty and crispy-edged and a rich reddish-brown color, 10 to 12 minutes. If potatoes seem to be cooking too quickly, reduce heat to medium. Serve topped with chopped chives.
