Garlic and Herb Fries | Can't Stay Out of the Kitchen

Garlic and Herb Fries

Garlic and Herb Fries are wonderful! I’m always on the lookout for fresh new ways to make potatoes so I don’t have to eat them the same way every time and when I saw the amazing pictures at Recipes For Our Daily Bread I knew I would have to try them. Then as I started reading Diane’s directions I decided to go back to the original source.

After looking at the original recipe I decided to make it pretty much like the original except I substituted dried herbs for the fresh in the recipe and I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil. I thought these potatoes turned out excellently. Lots of flavor, and so EASY!

Basically, I layered potato wedges in a glass baking dish, brushed them with olive oil, sprinkled them with salt and pepper and baked them for about 20 minutes. Then I removed the foil and allowed the potatoes to crisp up a little bit and baked them a little more.

When the potatoes came out of the oven I brushed a butter and herb glaze over top of the potatoes. The herbs make this dish special. This is a great side dish for meats, but quite frankly, I loved Garlic and Herb Fries served for breakfast!

So if you’re looking for a quick, easy, and economical way to use up garden potatoes, or you just want to prepare your potatoes a little differently than consider this amazing recipe the next time you need a potato side dish. This recipe can easily be made vegan by substituting coconut oil or olive oil for the butter in the recipe.

When I initially posted this recipe in May of 2013, I had recently purchased my Canon camera but wasn’t competent enough to use them on these pictures. Instead I used an iPhone 4 which left a lot to be desired. I recently remade this recipe (May 2015), along with Baked Turkey Cutlet Parmesan and a salad with Healthy Orange Balsamic Salad Dressing for some friends who moved into a new home.

They had recently gutted a house and had spent the previous 2 months refurbishing it, spending nights and weekends non-stop until it was finished. They were exhausted so a nice home-cooked meal hit the spot.

While I was at it, I made a batch of the same meal for us. We enjoyed every morsel, too! Go ahead. Make up a batch of Garlic and Herb Fries as a side for your next meal. Better make sure you make plenty while you’re at it. You’ll want seconds or thirds of these delicious fries.

Meanwhile, make garlic butter sauce. Melt butter – or if vegan use olive oil or coconut oil. Add fresh minced garlic and saute a few minutes until fragrant. Stir to combine and set aside.

Remove foil and bake potatoes 5 minutes longer. Test with a fork to ensure potatoes are fork tender. Don’t bake the potatoes too long, you don’t want the potatoes getting mushy or scorched.

Garlic and Herb Fries is a great side dish to make to serve alongside of main dish meats. The first time I made this recipe, I served it with Charcoal-Grilled Sugared Ham. This time, I served the potatoes with Baked Turkey Cutlet Parmesan.

I chose to use dried herbs the first time, but this time I used fresh herbs which are more optimal and incredibly delicious. Enjoy with an entree like Baked Turkey Cutlet Parmesan.
