What is Aioli?
Aioli is an emulsion made with garlic and oil. This is obvious from its name as the term “aioli,” often spelled “allioli,” comes from “all i oli,” meaning “garlic and oil,” in the Valencian and Catalán languages.
Traditionally, alioli was made in this region in a mortar with a pestle using only garlic and olive oil with a little salt. No egg was used to help form the emulsion.
The garlic and salt are beaten into a paste with the pestle, and olive oil is added in, drop by drop, while continuously mixing it in a circular movement until an emulsion is formed.
As the emulsion builds up and gets thicker, drizzle in small amounts of oil at a time, continuing to incorporate it into the emulsion before adding more oil.

Patatas alioli is usually eaten as a tapa, not as the main dish, but it’s up to you. You can eat it as the starter, main dish and if you want, also as a dessert. It’s also a super simple recipe.
To make the aioli you just need to blend all the ingredients and then you only have to mix it with the boiled potatoes and garlic chives, add some extra salt and mix, that’s all.
It’s a perfect cold potato dish. It is refreshing and much lighter and easier to digest with some cold beer.
