Yum :-) These were very good! I've had a love affair with aioli and fries for a while now, and was so happy to indulge with your recipe! I make my aioli very similar to this, but liked the addition of parsley and paprika. The smokiness from the paprika was understated, but really added another layer of flavor to the aioli. I'm glad I made this; it will certainly be going into my keeper file! Thanks so much for sharing, UmmBinat!
