I’m hosting my first ever Election Party next week. I’ve got a lot to celebrate…I’ve been waiting for this moment for eight LONG years. Of course I know Obama’s victory is not certain at this point. If he wins, that would be the ideal outcome and make the champagne taste even sweeter at the end of the night. So I’ll be prepping the election night menu with all of the positive thoughts I can towards what I hope will turn into a victory celebration with my family.
The menu:
Sweet “Victory” Potato Fries with Garlic Curry Aioli
I’ll also carve a pumpkin to pay homage to each party. Of course, I’ll spend more time on the Democratic one.
Garlic Curry Aioli (dip for sweet potatoes):
1/4 cup light mayo or miracle whip
2 small (or 1 large) garlic clove, mashed to a paste with salt, or use garlic powder
Juice from 1/2 lemon
Dash of black pepper
1 tsp curry power, or more to taste
1 dash cayenne pepper
Sea salt to taste
