*Chef’s Note: The longer you can let these flattened potatoes sit out, the more moisture they will lose and the crispier they will get when you go to fry them. I sometimes let my potatoes just sit in the fridge overnight. It’s worth it.
**Chef’s Note: You can use just canola, I personally enjoy the flavor browned butter adds to the potato.

*Chef’s Note: It’s possible to make aioli using a bowl and a whisk, or a food processor with a pour spout, or even an immersion blender. For the food processor, it’ll work better if you double or even triple this recipe; one yolk isn’t quite enough volume for the spinning blade to reach successfully.
**Chef’s Note: Sometimes when you try to make aioli, it breaks. You’ll know because the oil will separate from the yolk and the whole thing will look thin and not gloppy like mayonnaise. To fix this, crack a fresh egg yolk into a clean bowl. Transfer the broken aioli to a container that has a pouring spout. While stirring the new yolk, slowly—very, very slowly—add the broken aioli drop by drop, treating it as if it were the oil. You may need to add more oil after you’ve added all the broken aioli because now you’re working with 2 yolks.

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
