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!
