Photo: Crispy Twice Cooked New Potatoes with Garlic Aioli Recipe
Ingredients
- 20 to 30 small new potatoes
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
Directions
Garlic aioli:
- 2 heads garlic
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 sprig thyme
- 1 tablespoon water
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- *1 jumbo egg yolk
- 1 lemon, juiced
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- Chopped chives, for garnish
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Lay potatoes out in a single layer on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss the potatoes around so they are evenly coated and pop in the oven to roast for 35 to 40 minutes until tender.
Cut a heads of garlic through the middle, horizontally, and put in a foil pouch with olive oil, thyme, water, and salt and pepper. Seal the pouch around the edges and roast in the oven with the potatoes - this will be used for the aioli.
When the potatoes are done and warm enough to handle make an X cut on 1 side of the potato and then squeeze gently from the bottom to form a flower-like shape. Heat a pot of oil for deep frying to 350 degrees F and fry the potatoes until crispy and golden. Drain on paper towels and season with kosher salt.
Remove the garlic from the pouch and squeeze out the flesh. Add the roasted garlic, egg, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a blender and process. Pour in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream until the aioli emulsifies. Fold in sour cream and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with chives.
* Raw Egg Warning
Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly refrigerated, clean grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.

This is one of my staple dishes (the chimmichurri pork, potatos and garlic aioli. Always turns out great, and is relatively quick to prepare (i have eight children, and NOBODY complains about this dinner :. I used to make it before swimming Wednesday nights, but i had tiny burns on my hands from frying the potatos + chlorine= still worth it!

EVEN FASTER. I microwaved potatoes, flattened and crisped them up in a cast iron skillet with a little butter and olive oil.Very good.

The potatoes were nice, but pretty uninventive - I've made these tonnes of times in the past. The aioli was awful - it tasted disgusting; like gone off mayo, yuk, what a waste of ingredients & time & money.
