Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds 1- to 2-inch Yukon gold potatoes (about 16)
Kosher salt
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Sriracha
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 clove garlic, minced
1 lime, zested and juiced
Kosher salt
Favorite fat, for frying (I love saved bacon fat or duck fat)
2 scallions, thinly sliced on a bias, to garnish

Steps:

  • For the potatoes: To a small saucepan, add the potatoes and cool water to cover. Salt the water generously and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-high, and simmer until the potatoes are just tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to15 minutes. Remove from the water and let cool. While the potatoes are cooling, make the spicy aioli.
  • For the spicy aioli: In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Sriracha, paprika, garlic lime zest and juice and a pinch salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
  • To finish the potatoes: Heat a large cast-iron skillet with your favorite fat until it reaches 350 degrees F. The fat should come 1 to 2 inches up the side of the pan.
  • With the heel of your hand, smash the potatoes so they are relatively flat but still holding together. Add the potatoes to the fat and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from the fat with a slotted spoon and place in the bowl with the aioli. Add a spoonful of the hot fat, stir to coat and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with the scallions and serve immediately. I guarantee you will never look at a French fry the same way again.

Overall, I thought this was a great recipe. The potatoes were crispy and flavorful, and the aioli was the perfect dipping sauce. I'll definitely be making this again.

I accidentally used regular mayonnaise instead of Greek yogurt in the aioli. It was still good, but it wasn't as thick and creamy as it should have been.

The aioli was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potatoes didn't come out crispy. They were still good, but not as good as I had hoped.

These fried potatoes with spicy aioli were a hit at my dinner party! The potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the aioli was the perfect combination of spicy and creamy.
