French Fries with Rosemary and Lemon Aioli

Cajeta (Goat’s Milk Caramel Sauce)
This, my friend, is what we in the business call a “money shot”. If you have a Mexican friend in your life, and they haven’t introduced you to Cajeta, you need to have a hard talk with them. Anyone who would keep this secret from those they love is suspect. I’m just saying. As you can…
