Ingredients:
– 2 packages (28 oz each) frozen shoestring fries
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 1 teaspoon kosher salt
– 1 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
– Flaky sea salt, for serving
– Mayonnaise and ketchup, for optional dipping
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 450°F, positioning racks in the upper and lower thirds.
2. Toss the fries with olive oil and kosher salt, spreading evenly on two large baking sheets.
3. Bake until golden, about 30-35 minutes, turning the fries and rotating pans halfway.
4. Meanwhile, finely chop the parsley and garlic, or use a mini food processor.
5. Once cooked, immediately toss the fries with the parsley-garlic mixture and return to the oven for 1 minute.
