Easy, stadium-worthy Garlic Fries

Loaded Garlic French Fries are one of the main reasons I love going to ball games (Go Dodgers!) and outside of the amazing Dodger dogs and giant bags of salted peanuts, it isn’t a baseball game if your breath isn’t all garlicky!

I make fries two ways in our house. The first way is the easier one and the method I used on these garlic fries. Packaged frozen french fries!

Wait! No! Don’t click away! Haha, I am kidding, but yes, it is pretty unlike me to use frozen french fries. The thing about french fries though, is that while they may seem so easy to make (potatoes, oil…done right?) they are actually a long process to do correctly, like with my In-N-Out Animal Style Fries. There is the peeling, cutting, soaking, drying, first fry, rest, second fry.

When I am running low on time or want a quick fix, I grab a bag of frozen fries (I love Alexia and Cascadian Organic), bake them and toss most (kids get unseasoned) of them with a seasoned topping.  The garlic and olive oil are my favorite hack because it makes instant garlic fries!

loaded fries flavoring/topping ideas:

  • Cheddar powder and powdered milk with a bit of salt for Cheddar and Sour Cream Fries!
  • Blue Cheese Powder (this is my new addiction since I discovered it at the Fancy Food Show in January) and chopped bacon.
  • Taco Seasoning packet with a dipping sauce of sour cream and a bit of hot sauce mixed in.
  • Creole Fries the Bold Creole seasoning from Tony Chachere’s (another Fancy Food Show find I’ve loved!)
  • Ground or fresh (super finely minced) ginger, a touch of sesame oil mixed with canola oil, minced garlic and salt dipped in teriyaki sauce

So grab some fries, toss them with this garlic/olive oil for easy, but delicious garlic fries. But make sure you are surrounded by those who will love you no matter how strong your garlic breath is!

Ingredients
 

  • 1 bag frozen french fries

  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Cook the fries according to the directions on the bag.

  • A minute or so before serving the fries, put the garlic in a small fry pan with the oil.

  9. These are amazing! I swapped out dried cilantro for parsley, and added just a bit of Kraft grated parm. I am not sharing these!

  12. Yum! A restaurant where we used to live served delicious Garlic Fries but I never thought I could do it frozen French fries! I’ve had Alexia Sweet Potato fries before so maybe I’ll grab the regular ones next time.

  14. I just used up the last of my potatoes for dinner tonight and I am SO bummed out! I am going to get some more this week and make these for sure- they look SO good!

    1. Me too, I was going to add even more garlic and had to restrain myself so my poor husband wouldn’t be overwhelmed by it!

  20. Those look amazing! I’d love to make these for my family soon. I know my husband would love them. He loves anything garlic.

  21. Is it wrong that I now want a french fry bar that has all of the flavor varieties you listed in front of me all at once? I am certain I would go from flavor to flavor until they were all gone!

  24. Frying french fries twice may seem tedious, but the effort is so, so worth it. Forget Animal Style–these look fantastic!

    1. Tedious for sure! But I hate soggy fries, so I do it when I make them at home. This is why I love ordering fries when we go out, I don’t have to do all the work!
