Garlic Fries

These fries are a lighter (and much tastier, in my opinion!) version of deep fried potatoes.


In a bowl, toss together:

3lbs peeled baking potatoes, cut into ¼” thick strips
4t canola oil
Salt and pepper

On a baking sheet prepared with non-stick cooking spray, spread potatoes in a single layer. Bake at 400 for about 50 minutes, turning over after 20 minutes, until tender and golden.

In a large nonstick skillet or cast iron skillet, melt:

2T butter

Saute over low heat, 2 minutes:

8 cloves of garlic, minced

Add cooked potatoes and:

2T chopped parsley
2T freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Toss to coat & serve immediately.

Oh my goodness, Michele, I'm drooling. At first I felt guilty--I see your healthy homemade fries. I'm thinking that MY version of fries: frozen fries, bake 'em, throw garlic from a jar on top, along with freshly shredded parmesan and parsley.

But my guilt vanished when I saw your whoopie things.

I remember seeing your Asian salad recipe a while back. I'm bookmarking your blog, your recipes look great! (If I could only FIND flank steak, now that we are living in the sticks, lol!)
