The aioli forgoes silky smoothness for a coarser texture chock-full of fresh garlic bits. The hit of garlic is front and center, while a hum of mayonnaise rounds out every rich swipe. The potatoes are the only menu item available at both breakfast and lunch, so it should be a breeze to get a taste of this sensational condiment.
