In college one of my favorite restaurants was called Silvergreens and they had these amazing garlic fries that I would always get as a side. I don’t like to make fries often because of the huge amount of fat and the acrylamides that form when baking/frying the potatoes, but they are SOO good sometimes I can’t resist. I adapted this baked garlic fries recipe from Ellie Krieger on the Food Network.

I just had a college flashback – I’m thinking we went to the same school, because I loved Silvergreens (one of my roommates worked there, free food!) and they had amazing fries. I have Ellie Krieger’s cookbook with this recipe bookmarked – I don’t know why I haven’t made them yet, but I’m thinking I should!
Yum! these look wonderful! I love homemade baked french fries!
Definitely check at 15 minutes. Depending on your mandolin 40 is WAY too much. Mine were mostly burnt at 30. If you see shrinkage and any browning that is your queue to check every 5 mins after
