I saw this recipe for garlic fries over at sweet-savory-southern, they looked perfect to go with the cheeseburgers we were having for dinner. This is a great way to prepare potatoes, they are crispy and have a great garlic flavor. Original recipe comes from food network.
Garlic “Fries”
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 tablespoons canola oil
-
3 large baking potatoes, 12 ounces each
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves (I used dried)Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Heat the garlic and oil in a small saucepan over medium heat for 2 minutes. Strain the garlic from the oil with a small mesh strainer. Set both garlic and oil aside.
Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch sticks, I cut mine into “steak fry” size. In a large bowl, toss the oil, potatoes and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and spread the potatoes onto it in a single layer. Bake until golden and crisp, about 35 minutes.
Remove potatoes from the tray with a metal spatula. Toss with parsley, reserved garlic, and additional salt, to taste. Serve immediately.
