Super Crispy Garlic and Herb Fries
Ingredients
8-10 small potatoes
2-3 tbsp olive oil
2-3 tbsp mixed chopped herbs like basil and oregano
1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
Salt and pepper
Method
Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
Slice the potatoes in half, then each half into four pieces and lay evenly on a lined baking sheet and possibly facing up. Do not let the fries touch each other, so they get super crispy. Mix the oil with garlic and season with salt and pepper and drizzle over the potatoes.
Toss well and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
Take out of oven and sprinkle on the herbs and serve with vegan tzatziki.
