Crispy french fries with homemade mayonnaise

Lovely homemade crispy french fries with a creamy mayonnaise is everything you can wish for when you want a snack. Here is our very best.

French fries

(small snack for two)

5 potatoes

0,5 l oil for frying

salt

Mayonnaise

1 egg yolk

2 tsp mustard

ca 2 dl neutral oil

finely chopped parsley

salt

black peppar

cayenne peppar

a few drops of lemon juice

a pinch of sugar

How to do it.

Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice into french fries place in a bowl filled with water. Let them soak to get rid off the starch. Rinse and boil in a sauce pan for about 10 min, they shouldn't be rare, but not fully cooked either. Somewhere in between. Lay out a kitchen towel and let the potatoes dry. Place on a plate or baking tray (whatever fits in your freezer) and place in your freezer for about 15 min. Heat up the oil in a sauce pan or use a fryer if you got one. Keep a lid nearby if the oil would start to burn. Take out the fries and fry for 5 min in 160 degrees celsius. Place the fried potatoes on some paper to dry of excess oil.

Place the egg yolk, mustard and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Take an electric whisk or blender and make sure the egg mixture gets combined. Start adding the oil drop by drop, otherwise it will separate. If it separates, start from the beginning and slowly add the failed mixture. When the mayonnaise starts to thicken you can add the oil with less caution. More oil gives a thicker mayonnaise, you decide witch texture you want. Add the finely chopped parsley and season with salt, black peppar, lemon juice and cayenne peppar. 

Enjoy!
