Ingredients
For the French Fries
3
large
potatoes, cut into ¼ inch strips
1-¾
cup
vegetable oil
1
tablespoon
bacon grease
optional
1
teaspoon
salt, coarsely ground
For the Creole Aioli
½
cup
plain Greek yogurt
½
cup
mayonnaise
1
clove
garlic, minced
4
teaspoons
olive oil
1
teaspoon
Creole mustard
2
teaspoons
fresh lemon juice
(juice of ½ lemon)
1
teaspoon
Creole seasoning
½
teaspoon
hot sauce, optional
Instructions
For the French Fries
Heat oil and bacon grease (if used) in 10-11 inch skillet over medium heat.
Test heat by adding one french fry. If it gives a good sizzle, the heat is right.
Add potatoes slowly to prevent oil from cooling.
Gently stir a few times to promote even cooking.
Cook 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Remove with slotted spoon to absorbent paper to drain.
Salt potatoes while still hot and toss lightly.
For the Creole Aioli
Brown garlic in olive oil over medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned.
Stir remaining ingredients together.
Add garlic and olive oil and stir until well blended.
Garnish with an extra shake of Creole seasoning, if desired.
Notes
This makes enough for two skillets full of fries. According to how big the appetites are that you're feeding, it will be about 5-6 servings.
