Oven Baked Garlic Fries

Happy Tuesday Everyone! The rain and all of this wind sucks but this recipe is fun and yummy and is sure to make your rainy day better. I know it is hard to admit because we all want to think we are perfect and never eat fast food, but who doesn’t love a good McDonald’s french fries? Well this recipe for homemade oven baked garlic fries is just as amazing and healthier than McDonald’s.

Oven Baked Garlic Fries Ingredients:

• Russet Potatoes
• Olive Oil
• Salt and Pepper
• Garlic Salt or Minced Garlic

How to make Oven Baked Garlic Fries:

First we are going to cut the potatoes into even thin slices. I roughly got about 16 fries out of each potato. Once you have cut all of the potatoes you will place them into a large bowl and fill it with hot water. Let them sit for 10 minutes.

While the potatoes are soaking in the water we are going to line a baking sheet with paper towels. Once the 10 minutes are up we are going to drain the water and then dump the potatoes onto the baking sheet lined with our paper towels and then we are going to pat them dry. 

Next we are going to drizzle three tablespoons of olive oil on our baking sheet and we will also add a little bit of salt, pepper, and garlic salt or minced garlic. Then we are going to place our potatoes onto our baking sheet. Now we are going to drizzle a little bit more olive oil and our spices on top of them. We are going to cover this with foil.

In a oven preheated to 425 degrees we are going to place our potatoes in there for 5 minutes. Once the time is up we are going to remove the foil and let them bake for another 15 minutes. Then we are going to rotate the baking sheet and let them bake for another 15 minutes. If they still aren’t crispy then let them bake for another 5 minutes or until they’re a beautiful golden brown.

These fries were delicious! Now you don’t have to let the house for those amazing fries, you can begin to make them at home. You can even experiment with all kinds of different spices on your fires.
