A festive, easy-to-prepare amuse-bouche that even children will enjoy.

Peel the potatoes and cut into thick (approx. 1.5 cm) “chip” sticks. To ensure they look good when served, make sure they are all the same thickness and length. Pre-cook the sticks for 4 minutes. Mix the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Coat the drained chips first in flour, then in the beaten egg, and finally in the cheese mixture. Heat a deep fryer to approximately 180°C (or simply heat oil in a pot) and fry the chips until golden brown. Drain well on a layer of kitchen paper. Sprinkle with pepper and salt and arrange 3-4 chips in a small glass jar with a spoonful of mayonnaise. Mayonnaise: Pour the whole egg into a tall glass along with pepper, salt, and mustard. Add half of the oil. Immerse a hand blender and blend at full power. When the sauce thickens, slowly and evenly pull the stick upwards. Blend in the remaining oil and add the vinegar at the very end. Season to taste and add the chopped chives (amount to your liking). This amount of mayonnaise is more than needed for this recipe. It’s perfect for a potato salad, which you can make the next day.
