Baked Garlic French Fries

Yesterday after I picked up my kids from school, it was really cold. It was raining all day and the temperature was in 50s I guess. So, I made hot French Fries and Chakara Pongali (Sweet Pongali) to warm them up. Looks like Spring is still far away but until then, nice hot food gives some comfort on these cold winter days!

My son had a cooking elective last year in school. They cook a wide variety of foods ranging from breakfast to pizzas to desserts. Nice life skill right! So, on his dad's birthday, he gave a very precious gift to dad. Can you guess what? Yes, you are right he made a nice snack for him after work; French Fries. We can not forget that day forever. Like they say," Yesterday is always a memory". Special days like this are always sweet memories and they last for a lifetime! So today I will share that recipe with you.







Ingredients:-
Big Potatoes- 5
Oil- 4 tbsp
Garlic powder- 1 tsp
Salt- to taste

You will need 2 or 3 "greased" cookie sheets to spread the potatoes.

Process:-
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 3/4 inch thick strips. Once done cutting all of them, coat the strips with the oil nicely in a bowl. Preheat the oven to 400Deg F. Arrange the fries flatly on the cookie sheet one after the other. Pour any remaining oil on top of the fries after arranging them. Look at the picture below for a better idea on how to arrange them.



Bake at 400 Fahrenheit. Cooking time 25 minutes.

After baking for 15 minutes, take the cookie sheets out and sprinkle garlic powder and keep them back in. Once done, take the cookie sheets out and sprinkle salt. Let them cool down for 5 minutes before you take the fries out of the cookie sheet.
