Party Mayonnaise Recipes

PATATAS BRAVAS WITH CHEAT GARLIC AIOLI

Steps:

• Combine the pressed garlic, mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice, and sea salt and pepper to taste in a blender or food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Allow the aioli to sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This can be made ahead.
• Boil the fingerling potatoes in salted water until they are just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and let dry.
• Carefully slice the potatoes in half lengthwise once they are cooled.
• Heat a cast iron pan with 3 tablespoons of olive oil until very hot. Work in batches (don't overcrowd the pan) and fry up the potatoes until each side is crispy and evenly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Using tongs, transfer the potatoes to drain on paper towels, and while they are still very hot, sprinkle with sea salt, pepper, paprika, and fresh thyme.
• Serve the potatoes immediately while still warm on a bed of fresh parsley, sprinkled with additional parsley and thyme. Serve with the aioli. Enjoy!

MARIA'S CINCO DE MAYO ENCHILADA PARTY RING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place chicken in a mixing bowl. Add Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, and taco seasoning. Mix well. Place chopped tomatoes in a bowl and add lime juice; stir to combine and add to chicken mixture.
• Reserve 2 tablespoons crushed chips and add remaining chips to chicken mixture. Stir to combine.
• Sprinkle reserved crushed chips onto a cutting board. Unroll crescent roll dough and press into chips. Separate dough into triangles and arrange in a ring with points facing out on a baking sheet, leaving a 5-inch diameter open circle in the center. Scoop chicken mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Fold edges of dough over to create a ring.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Garnish with salsa, sour cream, and avocado. Serve with additional corn chips.

MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• In a glass bowl, whisk together egg yolk and dry ingredients. Combine lemon juice and vinegar in a separate bowl then thoroughly whisk half into the yolk mixture. Start whisking briskly, then start adding the oil a few drops at a time until the liquid seems to thicken and lighten a bit, (which means you've got an emulsion on your hands). Once you reach that point you can relax your arm a little (but just a little) and increase the oil flow to a constant (albeit thin) stream. Once half of the oil is in add the rest of the lemon juice mixture.
• Continue whisking until all of the oil is incorporated. Leave at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours then refrigerate for up to 1 week.

PARTY MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Add all wet ingredients (except the oil which is a liquid but isn't "wet") to the work bowl of a food processor along with the salt, mustard and sugar. Pulse 5 times. Turn processor on and add oil in a steady stream until incorporated. Keep at room temperature for 2 hours. Refrigerate for up to 1 week.
• *RAW EGG WARNING
• Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
