Crispy Garlic Herb Fries with Spicy Aioli

Crispy oven-baked garlic herb fries tossed with rosemary, parsley, and garlic, served with a zesty homemade spicy aioli. A perfect gourmet snack or savory side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Fries:
  • 4 large russet potatoes, cut into thin strips
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Spicy Aioli:
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat completely dry.
  3. Toss fries with olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway, until crisp and golden.
  5. In the final 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle with minced garlic. Bake until garlic is fragrant but not burned.
  6. Mix all aioli ingredients in a small bowl and chill until ready to serve.
  7. Once fries are done, toss with fresh parsley and serve hot with the spicy aioli.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use convection bake if your oven allows.
  • Use garlic-infused oil for deeper flavor without risk of burning garlic.
  • Yukon Gold potatoes can be used for a creamier texture.
