Man, another Michael Symon recipe, but still.
I made these to complement steak with Bearnaise sauce and carrots tonight, and HOLY CRUD they were yummy. I will say I used half the Sriracha, because I’m not as much a spicy person, but if you are, go right ahead. 🙂
So, enjoy! It’s from Michael Symon’s new show, Symon’s Suppers.
Ingredients
POTATOES:
- 1 1/2 pounds 1- to 2-inch Yukon gold potatoes (about 16)
- Kosher salt
SPICY AIOLI:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- Kosher salt
- Favorite fat, for frying
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced on a bias, to garnish
Directions
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 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 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.
