Fries with Garlic Aioli

April 15, 2019 by Amber 5 Comments

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of McCain Foods. The opinions and text are all mine. #MyMcCainPotatoes #CollectiveBias

Fries with Garlic Aioli is winning game day snack time with a delicious dip made with mayo, roasted garlic cloves and lemon juice that goes perfect with McCain® Seasoned Curly Fries Seasoned Potato Fries. 

This time of year is crazy busy in my household between holiday gatherings, Birthday parties, end of year school functions and game day hang outs with friends. Of course, I love hosting our game day events and one of my go-to spreads are fries with dips. So simple, so delicious and there is something for everyone. One of my favorite fry and dip pairings happens to be McCain Seasoned Curly Fries Seasoned Potato Fries with a homemade aioli. McCain® products are great for dipping and can be found at your local Walmart in the freezer section. 

McCain Foods is the world’s largest manufacturer of frozen potato products established in Canada and is on the path to be a household name here in the United States. Let McCain products help you easily create a tasty game day spread with the variety of fries all made with real potatoes with crispy exteriors for a satisfying crunch with every bite. Also try McCain® Smiles® Mashed Potato Shapes for super fun shapes that both kids and grow ups will enjoy. 

Hosting Game Day Tips

Hosting game day doesn’t have to be stressful. Here are my TOP 5 TIPS to make hosting a snap. 

  1. Use disposable plates, napkins, utensils and cups for easy clean up. 
  2. Have plenty of drinks and keep them cold so remember extra ice. 
  3. Finger foods will help you win big with your guests and give you easy party prep and cleanup. 
  4. Make sure the game viewing area is comfortable and has plenty of seating. 
  5. Are kids attending? Make sure there are snacks and drinks that are kid friendly. Also, set up a safe play area for the kids to run and jump. 

Fries with Garlic Aioli

Garlic Aioli may sound a little fancy but is quite easy to throw together and adds so much flavor to McCain Seasoned Curly Fries Seasoned Potato Fries or any other McCain fries. You start by roasting a bulb of garlic in the oven with just a little olive oil. The garlic becomes soft so you can easily squeeze the garlic out of the cloves to add to a little mayonnaise, lemon juice and more olive oil to create a yummy dip. 

More Dips

Make all your guests happy with a variety of dipping sauces. You can quickly toss together these other sauces for your fun party spread. 

  • Mix equal parts of your favorite tangy BBQ sauce with mayonnaise that is perfect for dunking fries. 
  • Honey Mustard is always a crowd pleaser made with equal parts honey, mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. 
  • Spice things up with a touch of sriracha in mayonnaise for those hot sauce fans. 
  • Add the classics: ketchup, mustard and ranch.

    We eat garlic on everything. Sadly, I admit that it’s usually garlic salt. Roasting a bulb of garlic in olive oi sounds so much fresher and tastier.
