Ingredients:

• 4 small Beets 

• 1 Egg Yolk at room temperature 

• 1-2 Garlic cloves

• 1 cup + 2 Tbsp Olive Oil

• 3 tsp Lemon Juice

• Salt to taste

• 12 small Potatoes, washed & cut into wedges 

Method:

1. Wash and cut ends off beets. Roast beets in foil for 45-60 minutes (or until fork tender) at 375°F. When cool enough to touch, remove skins with a paper towel.
2. Coat the potato wedges with 2 Tbsp olive oil and season with salt. On a baking sheet, roast potato wedges for about 30-40 minutes at 375°F.
3. Finely chop garlic. Sprinkle a pinch of salt on top. Using the side of a knife, press garlic into a paste.
4. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, and half the garlic until combined.
5. While whisking, slowly add in the 1 cup of olive oil. Whisk until thickened.
6. Puree the peeled beets in a food processor or blender.
7. Fold beet puree into aioli. Mix in more garlic to taste.  
8. Serve with potato wedges and enjoy!
