Baked Garlic Fries with Vegan Fig and Wine Mayo

With National French Fries Day upon us, we wanted to highlight a fun and tasty take on Fries that everyone can enjoy!

The best French Fries I have ever had are the Fries at Pommes Frites in New York City. There was a fire at the restaurant a few years ago, and they had to close without being able to say if and when they would reopen. I was devastated, of course, as any good foodie would be. However, they finally did reopen recently! Now if you know anything about me, you will know, I LOVE dipping sauces. They have like 50 different dipping sauces for the fries, and that is all they serve, French Fries and dipping sauces. Perfection.

So, Pommes Frites has a dipping sauce for the fries that is a wine, fig and sage mayo type situation. I always thought a wine mayo with some garlicky fries sounded amazing, and I love figs. I decided one day I would try to figure out how to veganize that, and maybe make fries that were a bit healthier. Also, I wanted to see how hard it was to make super crispy baked fries.

Thus, vegan fig and wine mayo was born, and hot damn, it is so good. Once I dipped these super garlic fries into this freakishly good condiment I created, my life was changed forever. It also turns out, you can get potatoes very crispy in the oven if you bake at a high temperature and cut them nice and thin. The mayo is also super easy to make, and can be made while the potatoes are in the oven.

The mayo is made with a wine reduction, and then has fig paste added. That is cooled and then whisked into some vegan mayo. Super simple, super delicious. The mayonnaise also needs a bit of salt and pepper to balance the sweetness, but you can season to taste. You can of course use any condiment you want. However, I definitely recommend this fig and wine mayo!
