Dutch Fries with Vegan Mayo (Patatje Oorlog)

Ingredients

• 500 g Potatoes, suitable for frying
• 500 ml Sunflower oil, for frying
• 100 g Vegan mayonnaise
• 50 g Peanut sauce, vegan
• 0.25 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 tsp Salt

Instructions

1. 1Peel the 500 g of potatoes. Carefully cut the peeled potatoes lengthwise into fries, approximately 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) thick. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl, rinse them thoroughly under cold running water, then drain them well and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
2. 2Pour the 500 ml of sunflower oil into a deep fryer or a large heavy-bottomed pot. Heat the oil to 160°C (320°F) over medium-high heat.
3. 3Carefully add about half of the dried potatoes to the hot oil, ensuring the pot is not overcrowded. Fry them for 5-7 minutes until they appear pale golden and feel slightly soft when gently poked.
4. 4Using a slotted spoon, remove the partially fried potatoes from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat the frying process for the remaining half of the dried potatoes, then remove them and place them on the same plate to drain.
5. 5Increase the oil temperature to 190°C (375°F).
6. 6Once the oil reaches 190°C (375°F), carefully return all of the partially fried potatoes to the pot. Fry them again for 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and visibly crispy. Remove the golden brown fries from the oil with a slotted spoon, place them on a clean plate lined with paper towels to drain, and immediately sprinkle them with the 1 tsp of salt.
7. 7In a small serving bowl, combine the 100 g of vegan mayonnaise, the 50 g of vegan peanut sauce, and the 0.25 medium finely chopped onion. Serve the hot, salted fries immediately with this sauce mixture.
