Servings: 2
Ingredients
healthy oven chips
- 2 large baking potatoes
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 tbsp cornflour
sriracha aioli
- 1/2 lemon juice only
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 large egg yolks
- 200 ml cold-pressed oil
- 3 tbsp sriracha chilli sauce or to taste
Instructions
for the chips
- Preheat the oven to 200℃. Cut the potatoes into thin chips – no need to peel, there's lots of potassium in those delicious skins. Toss in a splash of oil and sprinkle over a little cornflour (this adds extra crispiness).
- Heat a baking tray in a hot oven and arrange the fries on the hot tray in a single layer without touching. Roast for 30-40 minutes, turning once or twice so they cook evenly.
for the aioli
- Juice the lemon, add the garlic to the lemon juice and set aside for 20 minutes – this effectively cooks the garlic. When the garlic is ready, add to a food processor with the egg yolks and a pinch of flaky salt. Whiz for a few seconds then start adding the oil – drip in one tiny drop at a time until the yolks have absorbed about a third of the oil and the mayonnaise has started to emulsify. Add the oil any quicker and the mayonnaise might split.
- Add the sriracha, blend to combine, then taste to check the seasoning. Add more sriracha, lemon juice or salt as needed. Loosen with 1-2 tablespoons water if the mayonnaise is too thick.
- Store in the fridge for 3-5 days.
