Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash, peel and slice potatoes the size of your index finger in width. Anything thinner will result in limp or burnt fries.
- 2
Place sliced potatoes in a large bowl with water, two tablespoons table salt and four cups of ice.
- 3
Let chill for two hours adding ice as needed. This step is very important since icing your potatoes will result in crispier fries.
- 4
In a gallon sized Ziplock Bag, add all Creole seasonings and Vegetable Oil. Mix well and let sit on counter for one hour.
- 5
Leave Garlic Powder, Creole Seasoning, Cayanne Pepper and Salt out for later use.
- 6
Drain and dry your sliced potatoes and add to your Creole Seasonings. Mix well and place in fridge for one hour to marinate.
- 7
Line a cookie tray with an oversized piece of non-stick tinfoil and scrunch up like the picture below. This will keep your fries slightly lifted so they can crisp up better in the oven.
- 8
Or, you can use lifted racks and place your fries upon those. If so, spray Pam on racks.
- 9
Preheat oven to 450° and place cookie tray and racks inside to heat as well.
- 10
Once oven has heated, pull out cookie tray and place seasoned French Fries on hot tinfoil or hot rack.
- 11
Place fries evenly on sheet or racks with some space in between each fry.
- 12
Sprinkle tops with Garlic Powder, Cayanne Pepper and Salt.
- 13
Bake for 20 minutes.
- 14
Pull cookie sheet and flip fries over. Sprinkle with Garlic Powder, Salt and Creole Seasoning this time.
- 15
Place back in oven and bake 20 additional minutes. Watch them for any signs of burning!
- 16
Serve immediately with sides of Ketchup mixed with Tabasco, [to taste] Sour Cream, Ranch Dressing, Louisiana Hot Sauce or Mustards.

Mike's Gilroy Garlic French Fries Mike's Gilroy Garlic French Fries
Garlic! "The Stinking Rose!" This recipe is named after Gilroy, California who's town motto is, "Garlic Capital of the Nation and World!" Though that claim is quite sadly, yet accurately, disputed. None the less! We say, "Let them eat garlic!"Chefs Note: It's important to use granulated garlic - as opposed to garlic powder - in this recipe for total success. -
Mike's 3 Way Ramen Fries Mike's 3 Way Ramen Fries
I'm all about using fresh herbs and vegetables but, unfortunately they won't work in this dish. Use only dried. Feel free to garnish with fresh herbs tho!Try a Ground Ginger and Powdered Wasabi version with a mayonnaise based Wasabi Aioli dip. Or, a Nachos Grande with melted cheese, fresh onions, tomatoes, sour cream, jalapeños with a hot salsa dip. Plain noodles with powdered Ranch Dressing and a Ranch Dip for dipping is also another great idea.Also, consider serving your fries with Claussens Dill Pickle Halves on the side. They really are the best tasting and crispiest pickles out there! -

In Cape Cod, there is this food place that sells the best fries. I look forward to eating them every year. Even if I do not get anything else there, I always get their friesDuring the year, I miss them, so I make them myself. I am not a big fried food fan, that is why I bake my version. You can probably fry them, but this recipe is for the oven. Maybe when I get an air fryer, I will update my recipe. 😀These are great from the oven.Enjoy!

Granddaughter Dashney made these when she was visiting, and they became my favorite after just one bite. Her's were deep fried, but you can also bake them in the oven or air fryer. I made an oven-baked batch, and must say my preference is deep fried!

If you are looking to make French fries but want a more health conscious alternative, this recipe is a must. They are first baked throughly and then broiled to crisp perfection. Although not as crunchy as the original fried French Fries, they are still crisp to the bite. You can season them to your liking and then dip them into your favorite sauce.#CA2025
