Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
Spice Mix
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon curry
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon granulated or powdered garlic
Aioli
  • 3 to 4 garlic cloves
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
Fries
  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes
  • 2 pounds yams
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
  1. Stir together all spice mix ingredients in a small bowl.
  2. Drop garlic cloves into a blender or food processor with the motor running. Add egg yolks and lemon juice and process briefly. Add oil in a slow, steady stream until mixture becomes thick and creamy. Stir in 2 teaspoons of spice mix and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. To prepare fries, peel potatoes and cut into long ¼- to ½-inch-thick strips; place in a large bowl of ice water to keep from browning. Remove a handful at a time and pat very dry between paper towels.
  4. Drop into 1 inch of hot oil (oil is hot enough when a few drops of water added start to pop) and cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Drain well on paper towels and repeat with remaining potatoes. (Keep warm in a 300°F oven.)
  5. Place in a large bowl and toss with remaining sea salt and spice mixture. Serve immediately with aioli.
