Serves 4-6
Ingredients:
2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes
1 tsp baking soda
Kosher salt
Black pepper
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 Tbsp dried basil or Italian seasoning
Lemon Garlic Herb Aioli:
1 1/2 cup avocado mayonnaise
1 egg yolk
2 cloves garlic, minced
2-4 Tbsp fresh herbs, minced (dill and chives)
1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 lemon, zested
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Cut potatoes into 1” pieces. If using Yukon gold potatoes, no need to peel them. If using baking potatoes, you will want to peel first.
Add potatoes to pot of water. Add 1 tsp baking soda and 1 tsp kosher salt. Bring pot to a boil. Once boiling, cook for 7-8 minutes.
Drain potatoes. Return to pot and add butter, 2 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Move around to coat potatoes and melt butter.
Line 2 baking sheets with foil and spray liberally with nonstick spray. Spread potatoes on baking sheet. Leave space amongst potatoes and try not to overcrowd. Sprinkle with dried basil or Italian seasoning. Bake 20 minutes. Flip and bake another 20 minutes.
To prepare aioli, place all ingredients in small bowl or food processor. Blend until well combined.
Serve potatoes with sandwiches, burgers or entree of choice.
