Homemade baked fries? Yes, please! I made these babies to accompany our turkey burgers earlier this week. So, so good.
Another homemade item that I can’t believe people buy (just like granola!) because these are very easy to make AND you get to flavor them however you like. These make a great Sunday football snack, especially in large amounts for the Superbowl!
Because these fries are baked you save the fried calories – although maybe I should call them “French Bakes” instead of “French Fries.” No, not funny? Hah! I hope you enjoy these as much as my husband and I did – just remember, you can substitute my seasoning to have the flavor of cayenne pepper, paprika, extra salt or (dare you) extra garlic.
Baked Garlic Parsley Fries
Serves 2
Ingredients
- 2 potatoes, cut into thin fries (I used 1 sweet potato and 1 Yukon gold)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2-3 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line baking sheet with foil.
- Fill a medium bowl up with cold water and a few ice cubes – let the cut potatoes soak in there for a few minutes. Then, drain and dry.
- Drizzle the olive oil on the baking sheet.
- Toss dried potatoes on the baking sheet to evenly coat with oil.
- To the best that you can, arrange the cut potatoes to make a single layer.
- Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Bake 20-25 minutes, checking halfway to make sure fries aren’t sticking to baking sheet.
- Once done, taste and season some more to your liking. Toss fries with parsley and serve.
