Baked Herb and Parmesan Fries with Lemon Garlic Aoli
















These fries are delicious. The combination of the herbs, Parmesan and the lemon garlic aoli will keep you eating these until your plate is empty, and even then you may have to sneak a few from your friends. Very easy to make, they're even somewhat healthy given that these are baked, not fried. The recipe below yields 4-5 servings, depending on whether or not these are the core dish or a side. Enjoy!

  1. What a great idea to sprinkle the potatoes with grated Parmesan after baking. I'll definitely do this next time - I usually cut the potatoes into quarters but I'll try cutting them your way next time too as they seem to bake more quickly.
