- 18oz belgian fries(Frozen, according to package instructions)
- 1 qt vegetable oil(For deep frying)
Chorizo & Aioli
- 5oz chorizo sausage(Spanish, casing removed, crumbled)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise

- 1 tsp paprika(Smoked or sweet, to taste)
- 1 tsp lemon juice(Freshly squeezed)

Instructions
Prepare the Frites
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 175°C (350°F).
- Carefully add the frozen Belgian fries to the hot oil in batches. Do not overcrowd the pot.
- Fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Cook the Chorizo
- While the fries are frying or draining, place the crumbled chorizo in a medium skillet over medium heat.
- Cook, breaking up any large pieces, until the chorizo is browned and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off excess fat.
Assemble the Aioli
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, paprika, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined.
- Season the aioli with salt and black pepper to taste.
Combine and Serve
- In a large bowl, toss the hot, crispy frites with the cooked chorizo crumbles.
- Arrange the mixed frites on a serving platter or individual plates.
- Drizzle generously with the prepared garlic aioli.

Tips
- For the crispiest fries, ensure your cooking oil is at the correct temperature before frying.
- Do not overcrowd the fryer; cook fries in batches to maintain oil temperature and achieve crispiness.
- Serve immediately after assembling for the best texture and flavor contrast.
