Recipe - Herbed Baked Fries and Roasted Garlic Mayo

I adapted this recipe from one I found online. I made it from the herbs I had in my cabinet. So feel free to play around with what you have lying around. The fries are 5 pts for about a potatoe's worth (so half). The mayo is 2 Tbsp for 3 pts.

Herbed Baked Fries and Roasted Garlic Mayo

Ingredients:

1 head of garlic, roasted
2 large potatoes
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp rosemary, crushed or chopped
1/4 tsp red pepper flake
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 cup mayo
1 tsp olive oil for garlic
2 tsp olive oil for potatoes

Preheat oven at 400 degrees. If you have never roasted garlic before, it's really simple. Cut the top off a head of garlic, drizzle with a tsp olive oil.  



Wrap in a purse of aluminum foil, place in a baking dish and put in the oven for about 30 minutes.


Wash and dry potatoes. 



Cut potatoes long way, about 1/4 inch thick.  Then cut those slices to french fry thickness (about another 1/4 inch)


Pat fries dry with paper towel. Add potatoes, 2 tsp oil, herbs, salt and pepper into a bowl and mix well. Arrange one layer of potatoes on a cookie sheet, layered with foil and sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 30 minutes, turning twice during cooking. 

Squeeze roasted garlic into a bowl with the mayo. Mix really well with a fork, breaking the garlic up as well as possible.

  1. These recipes look scrumptious! Roasted garlic is the bomb but eater beware because pop too many roasted garlic cloves and you'll be keeping vampires away for weeks. Garlic will seep out of every pore! I'm going to try this one day
