Garlic Aioli

1 Tablespoon Terra Delyssa® Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Infused with Garlic

1 cup Mayo

1 teaspoon Lemon Juice

1/2 teaspoon Salt

Dill, for garnish

 Directions:

1. Add the gold potatoes to a pot and cover with water. Add the lid and bring to a boil. Boil uncovered for 5-8 minutes or until fork tender. Drain the potatoes and allow to cool for a few minutes.

3. Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the slightly cooled potatoes to the baking sheet, spreading them out a bit.
4. Lightly oil the bottom of a glass with Terra Delyssa® Extra Virgin Olive Oil then smashed the potatoes gently. Continue to oil the bottom the glass to ensure the smashed potato does not stick to the glass.
5. Season the smashed potatoes with salt and black pepper and drizzle with Terra Delyssa® Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
6. Roast the smashed potatoes for 20-25 minutes or until crispy and brown around the edges.
7. Add the garlic aioli to a serving platter and spread out with a spoon. Next, place the crispy smashed potatoes on top then season with a bit more salt, black pepper and garnish with thinly slices green onion and torn fresh dill. Finish with a light drizzle of Terra Delyssa® Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
