Garlic Fries

Good Friday afternoon to you all! I was inspired to make some garlic fries after seeing a friends picture of some garlic fries at the Garlic Festival she was at. So here you go.

Measurements are all dependent upon how many people you are serving and if these are your main dish or just a side dish and how big your potatoes are.

I used about 10-15 potatoes, but most were pretty small. If you use the larger ones meant for baked potatoes, then you probably would need 2-4 of those depending on their size. I chopped them up lengthwise and I made them to the thickness I wanted them to be. Again, it is all up to you and how you want your fries to look.

I took about 1/2 cup of olive oil, I added about 1/4 cup of bread crumbs, about 1 tsp of salt, a few sprinkles of cayenne pepper, about 1/3 of a cup of shredded parm and about 4-6 garlic cloves crushed with a garlic press. I had that all in a large ziplock bag and I mixed it all up before I added the potatoes. Once it was mixed, I added the potatoes and then I transferred them to a large bowl to mix it a little more evenly since there was so much in the bag (I only did it that way because I didn't realize how many potatoes I had, so you can skip that step and just do it in the bowl or do it in the bag). Then I put some foil on a half sheet pan and put the marinated potatoes on the pan. I sprinkled a little more parm on top of the tatters before I stuck them in the oven and then I cooked them on 400-425 until tender for about 35-40 min. This too will vary depending on your oven. After they were done, I broiled them a little to make them a little crispy.

The fries turned out really good! They are great paired with a tuna or a salmon fish sandwich. 

Enjoy!
