Step aside French fries, these Baked Garlic Fries are crispy, garlicky and totally addictive! 

When my girls were little, we used to have homemade baked French fries all the time.  For some reason, I haven’t made them in ages.  When I used some leftover rotisserie chicken to make a barbecued chicken sandwich, fries just sounded like the perfect accompaniment.  I wanted something a little more than just plain fries.  We had some garlic fries at a local restaurant that were to die for.

I also figured though that their calorie count was also to die for.  Not only were they fried, but then they would drizzled with an olive oil, garlic and parsley sauce.  Maybe even some Parmesan cheese.  So, yes while they were wonderful, I wanted something a little more calorie friendly.  A quick Google Search pulled up several options, but I settled on Ellie Krieger’s Garlic Fries.   What I liked about that recipe was that you infused the oil first with the garlic.  That was such a genius idea.

These baked garlic fries were exactly what I was looking for.  The garlic flavor was subtle yet present on all of the fries.  The parsley added a nice fresh touch.   I didn’t peel my potatoes – a combination of being lazy, plus they were organic, so all they needed was a nice scrub.  These were every bit as good as any traditional French fries!
