CRISPY BAKED GARLIC MATCHSTICK FRIES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees (232 C).
- Chop potatoes into matchsticks by halving, halving once more, then cutting into wedges and then strips.
- Line two baking sheets with foil or parchment paper (ensure the type you're using is safe up to 450 F / 232 C) and generously spray with nonstick spray.
- Add fries plus a generous drizzle of oil and sea salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat.
- Arrange fries a single layer making sure they aren't touching too much. This will help them crisp up and cook evenly.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes, tossing/flipping at least once to ensure even baking.
- In the last 10 minutes of cooking, heat a small saucepan over medium heat and add 1-2 Tbsp olive oil (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) and the minced garlic. Sauté, stirring frequently, until just slightly brown to wake up the flavor.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- When the fries are finished, remove from oven, sprinkle again with sea salt, and spoon the warm garlic on top. Toss to coat and serve immediately as is or with Whiskey BBQ Ketchup.
- You can also add more flavor by tossing the fries once more with the rosemary.

CRISPY, GARLIC OVEN-BAKED FRENCH FRIES
Having experienced a string of failed attempts at making French fries in the oven, I finally figured out this recipe which makes crispy and very delicious French fries without the deep-frying, and without the anxiety over potatoes stubbornly stuck to the pan.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Slice potatoes into strips lengthwise about 1/2" or 1/4" in width. Be careful not to slice potatoes too thin or they will fall apart after par-boiling. However, slices that are too thick will hold less crispy flavor.
- Place potato slices in a pot, and cover with water. Put on stove top to boil.
- Once the water has come to a boil, boil slices only about 3 minutes, or until you can prick a piece with a fork easily but without it breaking apart.
- Drain and dry potatoes. To dry, lay out slices on a clean surface and dab with a clean kitchen towel and repeat for other side. This is important; if potatoes are wet, the starchiness that comes out in the oven will cause the fries to stick to the pan.
- In a big bowl, mix oil, Adobo seasoning, paprika, garlic, and black pepper. Add potato slices and toss gently so that each piece is seasoned.
- On a baking sheet, arrange potatoes flat. If you do not have a non-stick pan, lightly spraying canola oil will help, but the oil from the fries should suffice.
- Bake for about 15 minutes; flip pieces so that the other sides can crisp and brown.
- Bake for another 15 minutes.
- When done, remove from pan to cool and dry on a cookie cooling rack for excess oil to drip away.
