Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium russet potato skin on
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne

Chipotle Lime Aoili

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp chipotle powder
  • juice from 1/2 a lime

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400° and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
  • Make the aoili now, that way the flavours blend by the time the fries are done. Combine the mayonnaise, chipotle powder and lime juice in a bowl. Mix well, and then cover and put it in the fridge.
  • Slice the potatoes into even sized french fries. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes in the olive oil.
  • In a small bowl, mix the spices and salt together. Pour this over the potatoes and toss them until well coated.
  • Spread the fries out evenly on the baking sheets. Make sure to not crowd the fries. If they are crowded, they'll steam.
  • Bake the fries for 15-20 minutes, take them out, flip them, and put them back in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
  • Once the fries are done, sprinkle with a bit more salt if desired. Enjoy with the aoili!
