Baked Oven Fries with Spicy Garlic Aioli
Mmm…potatoes! I love potatoes because they are so versatile and can take on a wide variety of flavors and cooking styles. Baked oven fries are a go-to side for me; they are easy and bake in less than 30 minutes! A wonderful accompaniment to a burger, BLT, or sloppy joe.
Did you know you can get the sweet, soft flavor and texture of oven roasted garlic from the microwave?! I used this technique when preparing the spicy aioli. If you have 40-60 minutes to actually roast whole garlic bulbs feel free to use that technique. This aioli is a nice way to switch up the old standard ketchup.
This recipe goes great my Sweet and Spicy Turkey Sloppy Joes!

Aioli
-
Slice the top off of the entire garlic bulb so the tops of the gloves are exposed. Place the bulb in a microwave safe bowl, drizzle with olive oil, 1 tablespoon of water, and a salt and pepper. Cover with microwave safe plate or lid. Microwave at 50% power level for 3 minutes. Bowl will be hot, careful! Turn bulb around in oil to re-coat, and microwave for another 3 minutes at 50% power level. Cloves should be soft and mash-able. Squeeze gloves out of the shells and mash.
-
In a small bowl mix all of the aioli ingredients together, along with the mashed roasted garlic. Serve along side oven fries, or top a burger!
Recipe Notes
Any kind of potato can be used for this recipe, you'll just want to adjust portion to be the equivalent of 4 baking potatoes. For the aioli, make ahead of time if possible; this will allow the roasted garlic to flavor the rest of the ingredients.
