Baked Garlic Fries

I'm always on the hunt for how to make baked fries.  I've found a couple good recipes (which are already on the blog) but I saw this one and wanted to try it.  They turned out pretty good - with the perfect texture.  You definitely have to watch them after 20 minutes as they will cook up / brown fast and burn if you're not careful.  Thankfully, mine turned out exactly how we like them.  These are easy and don't involve all the flour that the other recipes have used.

Ingredients:
2-3 medium Russet potatoes
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp vegetable oil (the original recipe calls for 2 tbsp vegetable oil but I just split it up)
6 garlic cloves, minced
3 tbsp minced parsley (I used dry parsley)
Salt

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F & get two sheet pans out.
In a small pan set over medium low heat, combine the vegetable oil and minced garlic. Let this mixture sit for 5 minutes, to infuse the garlic flavor into the oil.
Strain the garlic from the oil, and save both the garlic and the oil for later. 
Scrub the outsides of the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into matchsticks by first cutting into thick slices, then cutting each slice into small thin sticks. Toss the potato fries with the garlic oil and a big, generous pinch of salt. Spread the fries out evenly between the two sheet pans, making sure they are in one single layer, spaced a bit apart. If they're all on top of each other and crowded, they will steam each other and never get brown.
Bake the potato fries for 20 minutes*, then take them out and give them a good toss. Return to the oven for 5 minutes, then taste one and see if it has proper crispiness. If not, return to the oven for another 5 minutes, but watch them closely, they go from brown to burned very quickly at the end.
Toss the fries with the reserved minced garlic, fresh parsley, and salt, to taste. Enjoy!

*The cook time will vary depending on how thick your potato is sliced. Just keep your eye on them and taste from time to time.
