Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon onion granules
- 1 teaspoon dried chives
- 1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder (½ teaspoon separated)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 ½ pounds russet potatoes
- 1-2 tablespoon arrowroot starch (or tapioca or corn)
- 1 ½ tablespoon coconut oil (melted)
- 4 tablespoons mayo (vegan if needed)
- 2 tablespoon Greek-style yogurt (dairy-free if needed)
- 2-4 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon oregano
Instructions
- In a small bowl, make the ranch seasoning blend by combining the dried dill, onion granules, chives, 1 teaspoon of the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set the blend aside.
- Cut the potatoes into “fries”. Soak them in a large bowl filled with ice water for 30 minutes (or more), then drain, pat dry, and place them in a new, dry bowl.
- About 10 minutes before you are ready to bake the potatoes, preheat the oven to 400.
- Toss the potatoes with your starch of choice, then toss with the melted oil, plus the ranch seasoning blend. Spread the potatoes out on a sheet pan and bake for 40-50 minutes (flipping halfway).
- While the potatoes are cooking, make the aioli. Whisk the mayo, yogurt, hot sauce, honey, oregano, and the remaining ½ teaspoon of garlic powder together!
- Serve with aioli and enjoy!
