We are a die hard giants family. My boys recently drove to Arizona for a Spring Training baseball game. We are all very sad that baseball season is put on hold, but you can still enjoy your favorite San Francisco Giants Garlic Fries from the comfort of your home.

Garlic Fries Directions

  1. Cut the potato or potatoes into 1/4" cubed thick fries. Feel free to cut them in to slightly smaller sizes depending on your choice.
  2. Once cut, use a paper towel or kitchen towel and pat dry to remove all excess moisture from the fries. Once they are dry, put them in a bowl and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, add olive oil, fresh parsley, parmesan cheese and garlic. Mix everything well.
  4. Pour the dried fries into a bowl and mix with olive oil. Make sure that everything is coated. 
  5. Once the fries are coated in olive oil, add the parmesan, parsley and garlic mix to the bowl and thoroughly mix.
  6. Spray the tray of the air fryer with PAM or another alternative.
  7. Add the fries to the tray of the air fryer.
  8. Cook at 400 degrees for 6 minutes.
  9. At 6 minutes, pull open the drawer of the air fryer and mix the fries.
  10. After mixing, insert the tray once again and continue cooking for another 6 mins. Check the fries to be sure that they are not overly baked. Each air fryer is different, so check on how things are cooking.
  11. Remove the fries when mildly brown.
  12. Serve these fries warm with ketchup or with your favorite dip. ( We like to mix our ketchup with mayonnaise) Plate and serve immediately. Garnish with additional sauce if desired.
  13. Enjoy!
