Notes

  1. Adding freshly grated or minced garlic to this recipe makes all the difference. I strongly suggest that you peel the garlic and mince or grate it yourself. Not the packaged minced garlic, not garlic paste or garlic powder, but freshly minced garlic.  
  2. You can opt for other spices such as cumin, coriander, paprika or thyme as well.
  3. Layering the potatoes in one layer will help with even cooking and crispiness.
  4. Reheating instructions: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spread the fries on a baking sheet in a single layer and reheat for 10 minutes until hot and crispy.
