These fries were delicious and very easy to make. I couldn't believe how crispy they came out in the oven and the taste was amazing, my boyfriend couldn't get enough! I followed the recipe exactly except used already minced garlic in a jar to save time. I'm sure they'd be even better with fresh garlic, which is how I'll be making them tonight. So glad to have a healthier recipe for french fries, thank you!!
Garlic Fries
Best Potato Dish. An enormously popular story with readers, "Out of the Frying Pan Into the Oven" appeared in April 2002. In it we lightened many popular and traditionally fat-laden foods. These fries stand out. First, they're roasted at high heat until crisp and golden. Then you toss them in melted butter, shredded Parmesan cheese, and chopped fresh parsley for a tasty finishing touch. --Recipe by Elaine Magee (April 2002)
