This savory Cuban fries recipe features French Fries, zesty chimichurri sauce, pickles, and aioli —a flavorful blend that captures the essence of Cuban cuisine.
If using store-bought French fries, follow the instructions on the package to bake or fry them until crispy. If making homemade fries, peel and cut potatoes into sticks, fry them until golden brown, then drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
Make the Yellow Mustard Aioli:
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, yellow mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed. Set aside.
Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce:
In another bowl, combine chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, and extra virgin olive oil.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Set aside.
Assemble and Serve:
Arrange the cooked French fries on a serving platter or individual plates.
Drizzle the Yellow Mustard Aioli over the fries.
Spoon the Chimichurri Sauce generously on top of the aioli.
Sprinkle chopped dill pickles, green onions, and Parmesan cheese as garnishes.
Serve immediately while the fries are hot and enjoy this flavorful dish!
