These Oven-Baked Garlic Fries with Spicy Paprika Aioli are the MOST EPIC garlic fries ever. Loaded with flavors, easy to make and done in a little over 30 minutes. Serve this dish as a tapas appetizer or even as a side dish. Either way you go, these garlic fries will rock your palate.
What really takes this dish to the next-level is the spicy paprika aioli. Loaded with an array of flavors and beyond easy to make. Instead of making the aioli from scratach, I used some store-bought mayonnaise and turned it into an incredible aioli dipping sauce. Folks, it does not get easier than this!
To give the aioli that spicy kick, I used some hot smoked Spanish paprika. In this recipe I used a Spanish paprika from The Great American Spice Company. Guys, this is an INCREDIBLE hot smoked Spanish paprika. It has the perfect balance of spiciness and smokiness, giving this dish an explosion of flavors.
TIPS & TRICKS to make this recipe: To make the fries I used yukon gold potatoes, just because they have a great texture & flavor, but you can use whatever type of potatoes you like. I also used low-fat mayo to make the aioli, but you can use regular mayo. Importat to make sure the fries are all in a single layer when you bake them, that way they all cook evenly.
