Healthy side dishes are not difficult to come by. However, healthy side dishes that are also completely delicious are few and far between. I love a side dish like this Lemon Parmesan Baked Potatoes that I look forward to as much as the main dish.
Lemon Garlic Aioli for Dipping
I love dip. Like I really love dip. My refrigerator is filled to the brim with store bought and homemade dips, sauces and dressings of every kind. When I order fries at a restaurant, all I want to hear about are the dips they can offer. I then judge the restaurant on the amount and flavors of their dips.
So with these potatoes, a simple lemon garlic aioli is the perfect complement to the lemon parmesan wedges. Lemon, garlic, salt and pepper mix in with mayonnaise to make the perfect, simple dip. YUM!
