Ingredients

  • 900 g frozen French fries
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Handful of fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 50 g pecorino or parmesan

Cupboard Essentials

  • Salt
  • Pepper
Metric - US Standard

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven according to the packet instructions. Mine instructed 200°C/ 400°F.
  • Place the fries on a baking tray and spread them evenly to promote maximum crispiness.
  • Pop in the oven for 12-18 minutes, or as per the instructions on the packet.
  • When the fries are almost ready, place the butter, garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute, stirring halfway through.
  • Remove the fries from the oven and immediately season with salt. Transfer into a mixing bowl. Combine the garlic butter with the fries, then pour into your serving dish.
  • Top with the pecorino/parmesan, fresh parsley, flakey salt and a crack of black pepper. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Salt those garlic fries the second they come out as seasoning sticks best when they're piping hot!
  • Adjust the garlic quantity according to your preference. I found that 3 medium cloves was the sweet spot for this garlic french fries recipe!
  • Finely grate the parmesan for the best distribution. 
  • Make sure to spread the fries evenly on the baking tray so they turn crispy.
