Every week, we’re spotlighting a different food blogger who’s shaking up the blogosphere with tempting recipes and knockout photography. Here, Frances Boswell and Dana Gallagher of Kitchen Repertoire offer a health(ier) take on French fries. They’re still dipped in mayonnaise, though.

Oven Baked Fries With Homemade Mayo
There’s nothing like homemade mayonnaise. It’s not hard to make but it seems like a luxury. See how quickly and simply you can achieve a bit of bliss…
For the mayo:
1 cup light flavored olive oil
1 fresh egg yolk, room temperature
sea salt
For the fries:
3 large baking potatoes
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
sprig of fresh rosemary
Olive oil
Flakey sea salt
Slowly drip oil into egg yolk, whisking gently to form a good emulsion. Work until oil is fully incorporated. Season with salt. Set aside.
Preheat Oven to 450°F. Cut potatoes into wedges (we like them on the thiner side). Toss potatoes, garlic and rosemary (broken into pieces/leaves) with a healthy dosing of oil oil so they are nicely coated. Place on baking sheet taking care to not overlap wedges. Bake for 45 minutes in preheated oven. Serve with homemade mayo.
