Preparation
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into rough 3 cm cubes. Rinse until the water runs clear, then dry them thoroughly.
Step 2
Heat the oil to 130 °C and cook the potatoes for about 12 minutes, until a knife passes through without resistance. Lift them out and let them cool.
Step 3
For the sauce, soften the garlic and chilli in a little of the oil, add the tomato, smoked paprika and vinegar, and simmer 15 minutes until it coats a spoon. Season with salt.
Step 4
Raise the oil to 190 °C and fry the potatoes a second time, 3–4 minutes, until the outside is hard and deep gold. Drain and salt at once.
Step 5
Spoon the sauce over the potatoes and add the alioli.
