1

Cut the potatoes into rustic shapes, leaving some peel on.

2

Use a mandolin to slice the potatoes to a thickness slightly thicker than fast food fries.

3

Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water, changing the water three times over 20-30 minutes to remove excess starch.

4

In a pan, melt 1 block of butter over low heat and add 1 onion, cooking until translucent for about 5 minutes.

5

Add fresh herbs: parsley, tarragon, and thyme to the pan.

6

Incorporate 3 anchovy fillets into the mixture, despite personal dislike for anchovies, as they add depth to the sauce.

7

Add the yolk of 1 egg to the mixture.

8

Mix in a heaped teaspoon of Dijon mustard and a dash of Worcestershire sauce.

9

Squeeze in the juice of 1.5 lemons, adjusting for the juiciness of the lemons used.

10

Add freshly cracked pepper and 2-3 smashed cloves of garlic to the mixture.

11

Combine the onion and butter mixture with the other ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
