There's something about tender, crispy roasted potatoes smothered in a rich, garlic mayonnaise that just hits the spot.

3/4 pound salad potatoes
cooking oil, as needed
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 cloves garlic, mashed
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
milk, as needed
salt, to taste
Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until just tender. Drain well, then peel and cut into wedges.
Add enough oil to coat the bottom of a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the potato wedges and brown on all sides.
Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, garlic, and parsley until well blended. If needed, thin with a little milk so it is a sauce consistency.
Serve the potatoes with the sauce drizzled over them, or toss the potatoes with the sauce to coat. Season to taste with salt if desired. Recipe can be served hot or at room temperature.
Swap parsley with dill or chives for variety.
Experiment with adding lemon zest or a squeeze of lemon juice to the aioli for a citrusy lift.
These potatoes pair beautifully with grilled meats or a fresh green salad.
You can serve the aioli on the side as a dipping sauce if you don't want to toss the potatoes in the sauce.
Baby potatoes can be halved instead of wedged since they are smaller.
For a lighter version, mix Greek yogurt with a bit of olive oil. It won't be traditional aioli, but it'll add a tangy twist.
A dash of paprika or a few drops of hot sauce can add a bit of heat.
Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge. The potatoes and aioli should be stored separately.
Definitely not. It will not hold up well.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
