As much as I despised living in Hawaii, one of the things I miss the most is the food. One of my favorite dishes is a common fast food item with a twist known as “Garlic Fries”. They are the most savory side of fries you can have with a nice juicy burger.
I became hooked on these while eating at one of my favorite local diners in Hawaii “Big City Diner”. A few nights ago I was craving some , so I whipped together my own quick version.
Just a warning to forgive my pictures, I could not find my camera on this day and I had to use my handy dandy BlackBerry camera.
*Remember I eyeball ingredients so adjust measurements to your liking and family size*.
(1) bag of frozen crinkled french fries (or cut your own using fresh potatoes)
Couple of pinches fresh or dried parsley
Garlic Powder (Optional)
A pinch or so of Kosher salt or Sea salt
4 fresh cloves of garlic chopped fine (food processor works best)
3-4 tablespoons of Olive oil (just depends on the amount of fries you make)

YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMY!!!!! =D
Sounds and looks really good! I think my family would love this. Garlic??? How can you go wrong?!!!
LOVE….LOVE…LOOOOOOOVE the garlic fries!!!!! An even easier way to make them is to take the same bag of fries or the steak cut fries and put them on a cookie sheet of baking pan, sprinkle them with Lawrys Garlic Salt course ground with parsley, bake in oven 375 – 400 for about 20-25 minutes. I always bake my fries cause its an easy clean up. LOL SUPER EASY method cause Lawrys already has the garlic, salt and parsley mixed for you. Get the 33 oz bottle from Costco or Sam’s! :-) And if you like spice the way I do, sprinkle fries with sliced jalepenos (from jar) while baking.
DELICIOUS!!! :-)
…forgot something…
if you REALLY want to make a meal out of it, sprinkly shredded mozzarella cheese over fries about 8 minutes before pulling the fries out the oven. Talk about some gooey goodness. YUUUUUMMMM! LOL

Hey Bridgette,
Thanks so much for sharing that! I definitely will have to try . You are correct in that baking them makes it much easier which is what I usually do . It’s also healthier . Thanks for stopping by!
