When it comes to serving fries, ketchup is the go-to condiment for many. But why settle for ordinary when you can elevate your fry game with a dip that’s as sophisticated as it is delicious? Enter Garlic Parmesan Aioli, a creamy and savoury dip that perfectly complements the salty crunch of home-cut crinkle fries.
Why Choose a Unique Dip?
Ketchup, while classic, can sometimes mask the natural flavours of your fries and the accompanying dishes. By opting for a more nuanced dip like Garlic Parmesan Aioli, you enhance rather than overshadow the taste of your fries. This dip brings a rich, savoury depth with a hint of garlic and a touch of lemony freshness, making each bite an experience.
