Read on for our take on the million layer potato recipe, including the most delicious homemade spicy aioli for dipping.

What Are Million Layer Potatoes?

Million layer potatoes, or thousand layer potatoes as they're sometimes called, are basically stacks of thinly sliced potatoes that have been deep fried. The result is the perfect bite of crispy exterior and soft fluffy interior.

Million Layer Potato Ingredients

You don't need many ingredients to make this thousand layer potatoes recipe.

• Oil: For flavor, we recommend you fry the potato stacks in peanut oil. You could also use canola, safflower, or avocado oil in a pinch.
• Potatoes: Our recipe testers preferred the flavor and texture of russet potatoes in this dish. Choose extra-large potatoes to help make the slicing and stacking easier.
• Seasonings: This potato recipe is flavored with salt, oregano, and paprika. It's also great sprinkled with your favorite all-purposed seasoning blend.
• Cheese: Just before serving, top the finished fried potatoes with freshly-grated Parmesan cheese.
• Dipping Sauce: You can serve the million layer potatoes with your favorite dipping sauce. To make our spicy aioli, you'll need mayo, sriracha, and fresh lemon juice.

Tips for Making Million Layer Potatoes

Here are a few tips we learned along the way when testing this million layer potatoes recipe.

• Use a mandolin to achieve perfectly even slices. This helps with the texture of the finished dish.
• Don't rinse the sliced potatoes. The extra starch helps them stick together.
• Drain the fried potatoes on paper towels to help soak excess oil and keep them from being too greasy.
• After frying, bake the potatoes in the oven to ensure they're perfectly cooked all the way through.
