Comments
I’ve never made aioli before but I decided it would work well as a sauce for sweet potato fries.  This recipe is from epicurious.com but the original called for a lot of hand whisking which is a thing I’m not super fond of.  I opted to skip the hand whisking and make it all with my hand blender.  The aioli was thick, garlicky, rich, and delicious.  I wish that I had made extra to spread on my burger.
