Method

Sweet French Fries

1. Preheat the oven to 450F (225c).
2. Slice potatoes lengthwise into half inch thick slices (chunky potato wedges size).
3. Toss them with a generous amount of olive oil to coat the potato pieces and sprinkle with sea salt.
4. Spread in a rimmed baking sheet, avoiding overlap.  Bake, uncovered for about 35 minutes, until brown and crisp, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning.
5. Remove from the oven and toss with a light seasoning of salt if required. Serve with tofu mayonnaise.

Tofu Mayonnaise

1. Place tofu, dry mustard, sea salt, apple balsamic vinegar, rice malt syrup and lemon juice into the blender.
2. Blend at low speed, and pour in slowly the olive oil with 2 teaspoons of very hot water to emulsify the mayonnaise.

**The mayonnaise can be kept in the fridge for 3 weeks.
