Baked Garlic Fries

In the Bringhurst household we have garlic in every meal...almost. Ben loves garlic, so these little fries excited us. However, I would not say they are so garlic-y that your kids wouldn't like them. When I made it I downsized the recipe to one potato, two people can only eat so many fries. I like recipes that are easily adjustable anyway.

Ingredients:
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tbsp. oil (I used vegetable)
- 3 large baking potatoes
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley (I didn't feel like buying a whole bunch of parsley for this one recipe, so I skipped it and it was fine, just not as pretty I would imagine)

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 450.

2. Heat the garlic and oil in a small sauce pan over medium heat till garlic is cooked. Strain garlic from oil with a mesh strainer (I didn't have one and improvised instead). Set garlic and oil aside.

3. Peel and cut the potatoes into 1/4 inch sticks (I didn't actually peel mine in an attempt to keep some of the potatoes best vitamins, but the skins burnt and were crunchy even though the rest of the fry was fine. I recommend peeling.)

4. In a large bowl toss oil, potatoes, and salt. Spread on greased baking sheet and bake until golden brown and crispy, about 35 minutes.

5. Remove potatoes and toss with parsley, reserved garlic chunks, and additional salt if you want it.

Serve and enjoy!
