Ingredients:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp white truffle oil
- 1⁄2 lemon, juiced
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into wedges
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 bulbs fennel, julienned into thin slices
- 2 cups natural vegetable oil
Instructions:
-
- To make the aioli, add mayonnaise, truffle oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to a medium bowl. Whisk together until combined. Set aside or refrigerate until needed.
- Place potatoes on a dry towel to soak up the moisture. Once dried, use a large bowl to toss potatoes and fennel in cornstarch for added crispiness.
- In a deep pan, add oil and heat to 325°F. Slowly slide the potato mixture into the pan in batches, taking care not to overcrowd. Monitor your temperature to keep the heat consistent.
- When the fries are golden brown at about 4-5 minutes, remove them from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on a rack-lined baking sheet. For extra crispy fries, you can return them to the pan and fry again for an additional 1-3 minutes. Season with additional salt to taste and serve warm.
