Fried Potatoes with Garlic Mayonnaise

Jorge Castillo: This is a recipe that I enjoyed when I was in Spain. It was served as a side dish at many restaurants.

Glenn Lindgren: If Jorge enjoyed it, it has to be good because he usually hates mayonnaise!

Jorge Castillo: I only eat mayonnaise in this dish and in Imperial Rice.

Glenn Lindgren: So if you are one of those people who hate mayonnaise, try this recipe anyway. You might really like it.

Raúl Musibay: Make sure you use a good quality peanut oil heated to frying temperature. That will keep too much oil from soaking into the potatoes!

Meanwhile, mix mayonnaise, garlic, and cilantro. (NOTE: this dish is traditionally made with parsley. We think cilantro gives this dish a nice "bite.")

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Remove the potatoes from the oil and drain thoroughly, patting lightly with a paper towel to remove any excess oil.

Lightly toss the hot potatoes with the mayonnaise mixture.

Serve immediately .
