A Jersey twist on classic Patatas Bravas, featuring crispy Jersey Royal potatoes and a fiery aioli made with local ingredients.
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
If using, toss the scrubbed Jersey Royals with cornstarch in a bowl to lightly coat.
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the spicy aioli: In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, minced garlic, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika.
Slowly drizzle in the remaining olive oil, whisking constantly, until the aioli emulsifies and becomes thick and creamy. If it becomes too thick, add a tiny splash of the Jersey Milk to thin it out.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more cayenne pepper for extra heat.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove from the oven. If using, drizzle with Jersey butter.
Serve the crispy Jersey Royal potatoes immediately with a generous dollop of the spicy aioli. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Nutrition per serving (200g)
For extra crispy potatoes, parboil them for 5 minutes before roasting. This will help them crisp up even more.
The aioli can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your desired spice level.
Serve immediately for best results as the potatoes will lose their crispness over time.
