Crispy potatoes, a.k.a. french fries, are a favorite in our house. I could eat them all day. And sometimes do. I am, for obvious reasons, deeply attracted to carbs, whatever their shape or form. Why couldn’t I have that same desire for all other vegetables?
Instead of your typical “french fries” which are deep fried in a vat of oil, I like to bake mine in the oven. Baking them at a high temperature with just a drizzle of oil helps them to crips up nicely. Add some seasonings and herbs, and I dare say you have the quintessence of potato dishes.
The potatoes are pretty fantastic on their own, but I think fries must have a good dip. A simple aioli works great with these crispy potatoes. The fries are seasoned with rosemary so I decided a lemony aioli would pair wonderfully.
The base of this aioli starts with a good mayonnaise. You can choose to make your own, but if you don’t eat eggs or are strictly vegan, Sir Kensington’s makes a great vegan mayo that’s made with all-natural, non-GMO ingredients. Instead of eggs, the traditional base of mayonnaise, Sir Kensington’s uses aquafaba, the leftover cooking water from chickpeas. This starchy liquid has many egg-like properties and mimics the thickening power of eggs. Sir Kensington’s combines aquafaba with their special blend of ingredients to make this delicious and flavorful mayonnaise, which to me tastes just like regular mayo!
Sir Kensington’s Fabanaise, along with their other products— ketchup, mustard, and regular mayonnaise—is available at Whole Foods and many other natural retailers. Click here to learn more about Fabanaise and to find a coupon to use in store.
Just be careful. This fry and dip combo is pretty addictive! Good thing it’s made with all-natural, wholesome ingredients.. 💛
