Swine & Sea — Parmesan Garlic Fries — French Creole Recipe

Parmesan Garlic Fries

Making good french fries puts the fear of god into so many home cooks. Either from the thought of your kitchen smelling like grease for days on end or you end up making soggy fries. This recipe eliminates both of those fears giving you nice crispy fries that are baked in the oven. Your spouse will thank you every time.


I like to serve these on their own, with ketchup or with an herbed crème fraîche with caviar.
