Instructions

  • Preheat the oven according to the frozen fries package instructions. Spread the 1 bag of frozen French fries (26 ounces) in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake exactly as the package directs until the fries are golden and crispy.
  • While the fries are baking, place 6 cloves garlic (very finely minced) and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet.
  • Warm the garlic and oil over low–medium heat, stirring or swirling, for about 15–30 seconds—just until the garlic becomes fragrant but does not brown. Watch closely and remove the skillet from the heat as soon as the aroma appears.
  • When the fries are done, transfer the hot, crispy fries to a large mixing bowl.
  • Pour the warm garlic oil over the fries, sprinkle 1 teaspoon kosher salt over them, and toss gently but thoroughly to coat the fries evenly.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
