Garlic Fries are one of those foods that disappear almost as soon as they hit the table. It doesn’t matter whether I’m serving them as a side dish with burgers or putting them out as a snack while friends are over, they’re always the first thing people reach for. The combination of crispy fries, fresh garlic, parmesan cheese, and parsley is hard to beat.

The first time I made garlic fries at home, I was honestly surprised by how much better they tasted than most restaurant versions. Instead of relying on garlic powder, this recipe uses real garlic that gets gently cooked before being tossed with the fries. The result is a deeper, richer garlic flavor that coats every bite.

What I also love about this recipe is that you can choose how you want to cook the fries. Deep frying gives you that classic restaurant-style crispness, while baking is a great everyday option that still delivers golden, delicious fries. I’ve made them both ways many times, and honestly, it’s hard to go wrong.

Whether you’re serving them with burgers, sandwiches, grilled chicken, or simply enjoying them with a bowl of garlic aioli for dipping, these garlic fries are guaranteed to be a favorite.

Ingredients

4 large potato preferably Yukon gold

1 whole garlic minced

1 small bunch parsley

Salt to taste

1 tsp. smoked paprika powder

1 tsp. turmeric powder

1 tbsp. corn starch

Cooking oil for deep frying

1 tbsp. butter

1 tbsp. tomato ketchup

1 tbsp. mayonnaise

How To Make Garlic Fries

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges and wash them until the water is clear.
2. Boil water in a sauce pan and blanch the wedges into the boiling water for 3 minutes.
3. Sieve them out of the boiling water and immediately soak them in ice cold water. This will ensure the cooking process stops.
4. Part them dry with a kitchen towel or serviette. Put corn flour in a bowl and toss the potatoes to coat them evenly with the flour.
5. Heat cooking oil in a sauce pan on high heat, drop the potato wedges carefully into the hot oil. Fry the potatoes until they are crispy.
6. Put a frying pan on low heat, add the butter and melt it, add the garlic together with the spices and salt, mix together then add the potatoes and toss until well coated.
7. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the wedges and serve hot with a mixture of tomato ketchup and mayonnaise.
