Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
- 2 lbs Russet or Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 3 cloves of minced Garlic
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tsp Lemon Juice
To make this delicious dish, you’ll need a baking sheet and a mixing bowl.
Key players here are the potatoes, obviously, for a crispy outcome we suggest either Russet or Yukon Golds. Garlic gives our aioli that delightful punch and the lemon juice cuts through the richness of mayonnaise, giving our aioli not just flavor but also a great texture.
If you’re not a fan of mayonnaise you could replace this with Greek yogurt.
How To Make Roasted Potatoes with Garlic Aioli
- Wash and cut the potatoes into chunks ensuring they are of similar size. This allows them to cook evenly.
- Toss the potatoes in olive oil, generous amounts of salt and pepper. Spread them on the baking sheet in a single layer to allow for even roasting.
- Pop them in the oven and wait for them to turn a beautiful golden-brown color. This should take around 40 minutes.
- For the aioli: Mix minced garlic, mayonnaise, and lemon juice in a bowl. The goal is to have a creamy dip with a balanced garlic and lemon flavor.
- Once the potatoes are done, let them cool for a moment, and serve alongside aioli. Watch as they disappear in seconds!
