FINGERLING POTATOES WITH AIOLI
Steps:
- Rinse the potatoes and put them in a large saucepan. Cover them with cold water, add 1 tablespoon of salt, and bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, until they are just tender. Drain the potatoes in a colander and place a kitchen towel on top, allowing them to steam for 5 to 10 minutes.
- For the aioli, tear the slice of bread into pieces and place in a bowl. Pour the vinegar over the bread, and set aside for 5 minutes.
- Place the garlic cloves, egg yolks, zest, juice, saffron, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the bread, and puree into a paste. With the processor running, slowly pour the oil into the bowl through the feed tube and process until it is the consistency of thick sour cream. Place in a serving bowl.
- Slice the potatoes in half and place them on a serving plate. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and decorate with the chopped chives. Serve with the aioli.
PATATAS ALIOLI: ALIOLI POTATOES
Steps:
- Peel the potatoes. Cut potatoes into 1/3- to 1/2-inch chunks as follows: Cut the potato lengthwise, then cut it lengthwise again. You should have 4 long pieces. Now, cut each of those into 3 to 4 pieces, cutting crosswise. This should give you nice bite-sized pieces, small enough to use a toothpick to skewer. Sprinkle with salt.
- Pour olive oil into a wide, deep frying pan with a heavy bottom. Heat the oil on medium-high heat until hot. To test the oil, carefully place one piece of potato in the oil; it is hot enough if the potato immediately fries. If there is no bubbling/frying, the oil has not reached the correct temperature and the potato will absorb too much oil.
- Carefully place the potato pieces in the hot oil and fry until golden, about 10 minutes. You may need to do this in batches since you don't want to crowd the pan. Use a slotted spoon or spatula to remove potatoes and set them aside on a paper towel to drain.
- Make the alioli sauce .
- Place the fried potatoes in a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the potatoes and toss carefully. Spoon potatoes with the sauce onto a serving plate. Serve warm with toothpicks.

Four Horsemen's glorious take on patatas bravas requires cooking the potatoes three times (once blanched, twice fried). We wouldn't make you go through all that if it wasn't worth it.

Steps:
- Make the sauce:
- Grind fennel seeds in spice mill or mortar and pestle; set aside. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring often, until golden and soft, 8-10 minutes. Add chiles, garlic, coriander, and reserved fennel and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add tomatoes, crushing with your hands as you go, and juices; reduce heat and gently simmer, stirring occasionally at first and more frequently as sauce thickens, until sauce is thickened and jammy, 50-60 minutes. Let cool; discard chiles. Pulse sauce in a food processor to a coarse purée.
- Make the potatoes and assemble:
- While tomato sauce is cooking, rinse potatoes in a colander under cold water until water runs clear. Transfer to a large pot and pour in cold water to cover by 1". Season with salt and bring to a gentle simmer; cook until potatoes are just tender, 20-25 minutes. Drain and transfer potatoes to a kitchen towel-lined rimmed baking sheet. Chill (uncovered) until cold, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, whisk egg yolk, garlic, and vinegar in a small bowl to combine. Whisking constantly, gradually drizzle in grapeseed oil and continue to whisk until aioli is thickened and emulsified. Season with salt; stir in 1 tsp. water.
- Fit a large pot with thermometer and pour in vegetable oil to measure 3". Heat over medium-high until thermometer registers 325°F. Working in batches, fry potatoes until skins begin to slightly bubble around edges but do not brown, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer potatoes to paper towels to drain.
- Reheat oil until thermometer registers 375°F. Working in batches, refry potatoes until golden brown and very crisp, about 3 minutes per batch. Transfer to fresh paper towels to drain.
- Toss potatoes, paprika, and cumin in a large bowl; season with salt. Serve potatoes with tomato sauce and aioli.
- Do Ahead
- Tomato sauce can be made 4 days ahead; cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Lay potatoes out in a single layer on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss the potatoes around so they are evenly coated and pop in the oven to roast for 35 to 40 minutes until tender.
- Cut a heads of garlic through the middle, horizontally, and put in a foil pouch with olive oil, thyme, water, and salt and pepper. Seal the pouch around the edges and roast in the oven with the potatoes - this will be used for the aioli.
- When the potatoes are done and warm enough to handle make an X cut on 1 side of the potato and then squeeze gently from the bottom to form a flower-like shape. Heat a pot of oil for deep frying to 350 degrees F and fry the potatoes until crispy and golden. Drain on paper towels and season with kosher salt.
- Remove the garlic from the pouch and squeeze out the flesh. Add the roasted garlic, egg, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a blender and process. Pour in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream until the aioli emulsifies. Fold in sour cream and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with chives.
REAL AIOLI
Aioli is arguably the greatest cold sauce of all time. Yet it's nothing more than olive oil emulsified into freshly crushed garlic, seasoned simply with salt and lemon. This is pure, fiery, intense garlic flavor like you may have never tasted.

Tips:
- To achieve perfectly crispy potatoes, choose a variety that is low in starch, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes.
- Cut the potatoes into uniform-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before frying to remove excess starch and help them crisp up.
