OLIVE-OIL-FRIED POTATOES WITH AIOLI
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.

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.
- Potatoes can be blanched 1 day ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.
Tips:
- For crispy fried potatoes, use a variety of potatoes that are good for frying, such as Yukon Gold, Red Potatoes, or Russet Potatoes.
- To ensure even cooking, cut the potatoes into uniform-sized pieces.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before frying to remove excess starch and help them crisp up.
- Heat the oil to the correct temperature before adding the potatoes. The ideal temperature for frying potatoes is between 325°F (163°C) and 350°F (177°C).
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the potatoes. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Fry the potatoes in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Use a slotted spoon or a wire mesh strainer to remove the potatoes from the oil when they are done frying.
- Drain the potatoes on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Season the potatoes with salt and other desired seasonings while they are still hot.
- Serve the potatoes immediately for the best flavor and texture.
