Michael Symon always comes up with great recipes. Here is one for a great potato side dish. Enjoy.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pounds 1 to 2 inch Yukon gold potatoes (about 16).
- 1 Cup Mayonnaise
- 2 TB Sriracha chili sauce
- 1 Teas. Smoked Paprika
- 1 Clove Garlic, minced
- 1 Lime, zested and juiced
- Kosher Salt
- 1 Scallions, thinly sliced on a bias to garnish
Procedure
- 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 (Michael recommends Bacon fat, which everyone should save when you cook your breakfast or other bacon) 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 immediately 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.
