Our lighter take on the Gilroy Garlic Fries at the San Francisco Giants' AT&T Park forgoes the deep fryer in favor of a hot oven.

Ingredients

Makes 4 to 6 servings

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
2 1/4 pounds russet potatoes, cut lengthwise into 3 x 1/3 x 1/3-inch batons
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Toss potatoes with 2 1/2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on baking sheet.

    Step 2

    Roast the potatoes, turning occasionally, until browned and tender, about 30 minutes. Increase heat to 500°F. Continue roasting until fries are deep brown in spots, about 5 more minutes.

    Step 3

    Whisk remaining 1/2 tablespoons oil, garlic, and parsley in a large bowl. Add hot fries, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.

  • This is a good basic process for oven fries, but the garlic parsley coating didn't enhance the taste very well, as the raw garlic was too sharp. Perhaps next time I'll try tossing with a semi-roasted garlic. As it is, it does not beat fries with a truffle oil drizzle.

  • I made this per the receipe and everyone loved it. I on the other hand wasn't too thrilled with them & would make them differently from now on. I would use a deep fryer and use peanut oil. I am not a fan of baking my french fries.

  • This is a great way to make fries without the deep fry mess. I used duck fat and tossed the batons in it prior to the roasting. The herb and garlic toss was done with less olive oil and added grated parmesan! Talk about Umami!

  • So easy--so good. And in about the time it takes to make preservative laden frozen fries from a bag. Next time I will add some smoked paprika when I toss the potatoes with the garlic and oil.

  • Fantastic fries....I made them as a side for a dinner party for the kids, but the adults gobbled them up. Made as written, but baked longer than 30 minutes to get some extra crunch. Will definitely make a again.

  • No need for a deep fryer. I have made these many times over. They are delicious, especially with freshly made mayo for dipping!

  • These were delicious. I made them with the coffee rub burger also on this site. They turned out delicious and crispy, tossing in olive oil and garlic at the end was crucial to the flavor. I didn't have time to use fresh garlic so I used minced in a jar but will use fresh next time as that will have more of that good garlicky flavor

  • So quick to make... Loved this recipe. I added store bought 'garlic butter' to the recipe and melted it. I always make these now

  • Just as good as the real thing, and probably a little healthier. I had great results cutting the potatoes thicker and roasting them on my gas grill. The house smelled like the ballpark - it was awesome!

  • Delicious! Baking the fries at the high temperature really does make them nice and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You won't miss the fryer. Now any time an idea for a starch is needed, my husband pipes up and says, "garlic fries!"

  • Very easy to put together, the tossing was a challenge after taking them out of the oven, found that if you get them crispy, it is easier to toss. Give yourself plenty of time, takes longer that the 30 minutes. The flavors were awesome.

  • My daughters and I loved these fries! I made them tonight with our tilapia, and they were quick, easy, and delicious. I used dried parsley because I didn't have fresh, and it worked just fine. Next time I'll plan ahead better and get fresh - I'll definitely be making these again soon for the rest of the family!

  • Very simple recipe with endless variations. I cooked mine on the grill like a good Texan. Placed on the grill when I fired up the BBQue--by the time the grill's temp was ready for the meat, the garlic fries were almost done.

  • A great tasting alternative to the fried in oil variety. Exceptional garlic taste with decent crunch. Try it with truffle salt and you'll add a whole new dimension to the flavor.
