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


Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
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. 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.


**Sometimes I will just by a bag of steak fries from Wal-Mart. It seems to soak in the garlic taste more than real potatoes. I will also put mine in an oven safe bowl after they are cooked and top with cheese and put back in the oven for the cheese to melt.**

Oooh...I was so hoping you would post this recipe Rach! We did homemade french fries last weekend and I remembered you telling me about these garlic fries.

Did you take that picture?

No I found it on the website that I got the recipe off of.
