Best mayo for fries

[Mike_J_Smith]

I've not really tried homemade mayo before. Must give it a go. I make homemade bearnaise sauce - That is ace with chips too

Put 2 egg yolks in a metal bowl - important for incompetents like myself as it keeps the mixture cooler. Drizzle a very little oil - a drop or two - into the yolks and whisk it in. Add a little more, whisk some more. Repeat, gradually increasing the amount of oil you add at a time. Add the mustard, a good grind of pepper, a pinch of salt, and crushed or finely chopped garlic to taste (I use 3-4 segments) and whisk it all in. For a luxurious mayo add in another egg yolk at this stage. Leave in a sealed bowl in the fridge overnight to mature.

That's actually not correct in professional chef terms.

The egg yolks would need to be cooked as a "sabayon" initially and a metal or glass bowl doesn't make a huge difference but glass is preferred. A vinegar/sugar reduction would also be used in the initial prep of the yolks before making fresh mayo.

I thought that was only for sauces based on Hollandaise (i.e. with liquid clarified butter). Anyway, I did state that I was incompetent.

BTW wrt metal vs glass, I do find my mayo splits far less often when I use a metal bowl.

Cheesy chips with Heinz mayo is great. Used to love that after a night out.

This is the best store bought I've found "Delouis Mayonnaise". Doesn't have sugar in like others, the price has gone up a bit in the last year or so though. Actually tastes of something rather Heinz/Hellmans.

I bought Stokes Real Mayonnaise today to give it a try as it was on offer.

This 100%. There is only 1 dip for a deep fried cut of potato and it's red not white.
Mayo is for faggots....

Duh! Gravy goes with faggots, marrowfat peas also acceptable.

I have been doing a ketchup/mayo mix recently for my chip dipping

Its only mayo, no need to get homophobic......

Another vote for making your own, super easy with a food processor.

Yep, takes minutes.

 

[Pickers]

Any mayo, mix in some chilli flakes and/or some garlic salt.

Yum

It's fine to use raw fresh yolks to make mayo if it's only you and your family eating it and you wanna run the risk of salmonella etc from farmed or free range eggs. However, on a safety level, it is better to cook (sabayon) the fresh yolks as that's the equivalent of pasteurisation for commercial egg yolk sale. Hope that helps...

Ketchup goes with chippings, not mayo.

I agree Pepe.

Mayo can be ok but Ketchup and maybe a bit BBQ is nicer.

 

[godinman]

Never cook our eggs for it, meh.

 

[Philtor]

So we are making our own Mayo now on this forum?

Next it will be ‘I only buy Gucci belts as the leather is much better quality’ what’s wrong with Hellmanns? Eh?! lol

 

[explicit4u]

Usually mix Hellmanns Vegan Mayo with some sriracha, ketchup, mustard and Worcester sauce. Much better than the ordinary stuff on its own.

Brains pork faggots in gravy are quite reasonable as a desperation meal from the freezer.
I definitely would not want to ruin them with mayo !

I thought there would've been loads of recommendations for dutch/german brands by now.

Very few of us are Dutch or German on OcUK fella

I found this however. This seems to be the main one. Basically home made Mayo but jazzed up.

Pauwels is great if you can get it. Belgian/Dutch mayo just tastes so much better. Always grab some if I'm over there.

I did a stint in Germany back in the late 80s, and I was living off fries and mayo. Should've bought a shipping container of the stuff back with me.
