Olive-Oil-Fried Potatoes with Aioli image

Dip these fried potato wedges into garlicky aioli for an easy-to-share appetizer inspired by the Spanish tapas dish patatas bravas. Parboiling the sliced-up spuds and letting them dry on a baking sheet before frying in olive oil guarantees a creamy center and crunchy shell.

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds russet potatoes (4 medium), scrubbed and cut into 1-inch-thick wedges
2 fresh or dried bay leaves
1 tablespoon whole cloves
1 head garlic, halved crosswise
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil, for frying (about 4 cups)
Test Kitchen's Favorite Aioli, for serving

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot with 2 quarts water. Add bay leaves, cloves, garlic, and 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-high and cook until potatoes are just tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, then spread out potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet lined with paper towels until dry, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  • Fill a heavy medium pot about halfway with oil; heat over medium until a thermometer registers 350°F. Working in batches, add potatoes and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes a batch. (Return oil to 350°F between batches.)
  • Transfer potatoes to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Serve with aioli.

These potatoes are a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I always have a few extra potatoes lying around and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of aioli, so I served these potatoes with ketchup instead. They were still delicious.

The potatoes were a bit too oily for my taste, but the aioli was amazing.

These potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, just the way I like them! The aioli was also delicious and added a creamy, garlicky flavor to the dish.
