  1. Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, slice the potatoes into rounds as thin as possible, and place in a large bowl of water to prevent discoloration. Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot to between 340 degrees F to 350 degrees F. Pat the potatoes completely dry and fry in batches, cooking until golden brown, stirring with a long handled spoon to turn and cook evenly, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and place in a large bowl. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and serve with the Cilantro Aioli.

  2. Place the egg, Dijon, garlic, and cilantro in a food processor , cover, and process until smooth. Slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup of the olive oil through the feed tube in the top of the blender in a slow but steady stream, until mixture begins to emulsify. Add the lime juice and continue drizzling in the remaining olive oil . Turn the blender off, add salt and pepper, and pulse to incorporate. Chill if not using immediately.
