Step to make these parmesan fries
Preheat your oven and make your aioli
Begin by preheating and cooking fries according to the package instructions on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In the meantime, make your aioli. In a mason jar or narrow deep cup, add in all your ingredients: egg yolks, minced garlic, dijon, lemon juice, olive oil, neutral oil, sand and pepper. Take your immersion blender and put the blade all the way at the bottom.
Start on low speed and keep the blade on the bottom of the jar. Allow it to get creamy this way and emulsify. Once you see the oils mixing in with the egg yolk from the bottom, slowly start pulsing and bringing the blender up and down. Store on the fridge until ready to use.
Alternatively, if you are making your aioli by hand, in a bowl, add your egg yolk, garlic, dijon and lemon juice and whisk until creamy and mixed throughout. Slowly, start streaming in your oil and mix well with a whisk until a thick aioli forms, keep whisking until all your oil is finished up and the mixture becomes thick and creamy. Set aside.
Toss your fries and serve
In a bowl, toss parsley, rosemary, oregano, olive oil, garlic and salt and pepper. Toss your cooked fries with this mixture until fully coating. Finish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice and fresh shredded parmesan cheese.
