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.

I've tried this recipe several times and it always turns out great. I love that it's so easy to make and that the ingredients are always on hand.

This recipe was a complete disaster! The potatoes were soggy and the aioli was way too spicy. I won't be making this again.

The potatoes were good, but the aioli was a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

These fried potatoes were a bit too crispy for my taste, but the aioli was delicious. I'll try making them again with a lower temperature.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of spicy food. But I'm so glad I did! The potatoes were amazing and the aioli had just the right amount of heat. I'll definitely be making this again.

These fried potatoes with spicy aioli were a hit at my last dinner party. The potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the aioli was the perfect complement with its spicy kick. Everyone raved about them!
