"Skinny" Garlic Oven "Fries"

These are from The Food You Crave by Ellie Krieger.

Yummy! Our kids love these! especially with a healthy burger :)

3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tbsp)

2 tbsp canola oil

3 large baking potatoes (Yukon gold are my favorite)

1/2 tsp salt (I use seasoned salt)

cooking spray

1 tbsp finley chopped flat leaf parsley (skipped this)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees

heat the garlic and oil in a small pan over medium heat for 2 minutes.

Strain the garlic from the oil with a small mesh strainer, set aside both the garlic and oil.

Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick matchsticks. in a large bowl, toss together the oil, potatoes, and salt. Coat a baking sheet with the cooking spray and spread the potatoes on it in a single layer. bake until golden and crisp, about 35 minutes.

remove the potatoes fom the baking sheet with a metal spatula. In a serving bowl, toss them with the parsley, reserved garlic and salt to taste. serve immediately.
