INGREDIENT NOTES:

RUSSET POTATOES:

• These potatoes make up the fries. This is the main product. They can crisp nicely. These also get a soft interior after baking. These contain more starch. This is what makes them crispy. Another alternative for them is sweet potatoes.

OLIVE OIL:

• Olive oil has healthy fats in it. It makes the fries crispy. The garlic taste combines well with it. For substitution, use vegan butter (melted).

GARLIC:

• This is also the main product for the recipe. It provides the fries with a nice scent. We pan-fry it, and it gets golden. If you do not have garlic, use garlic powder.

BLACK PEPPER & SALT:

• Salt is useful in excluding water from potatoes. It also improves the taste. Pepper includes slight heat in the recipe. The substitute option is pink Himalayan salt.

PARSLEY:

• Adding parsley will provide a nice color to the fries. It also gives the recipe a fresh feeling. For substitution, use green onions.
