    No need to make a mess frying!  These Oven Baked Garlic Fries come out so crispy.  Oven Fries are the only way I make French Fries now!

    Baked Fries

    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.

    Oven Fries are Lower in Calories

    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.

    French Fries Crispy in the Oven

     

    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!

    The secret to getting French Fries Crispy in the oven is a high heat and thinly sliced fries.  They come out perfect!

      I love that you infuse the oil - brilliant! We make oven fries often, but these sound way better than what I usually make. Trying them soon!

      We always make our own homemade fries and talk about how easy it would be to make garlic butter or garlic bread but ever actually garlic fries! Definitely have to try this one 🙂

      GREAT choice Pam. I LOVE the way these Garlic Fries come together. Infusing them in the garlic oil and then baking them makes them less calorie infused and probably evenly distributed taste wise. Oh my I bet they are very addictive too.

      Thanks so much for sharing, Pam...
