These crispy beer-soaked french fries from The Edible Perspective are the perfect side or start to a fun summer meal. Other herbs we think might be delish: sage, rosemary, chives or thyme.

Ingredients

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F

Scrub and cut potatoes with skin on.

• Cut the potato in half, lengthwise.
• Turn one half on it’s side.
• Depending on how thick you want the fries, make 2 – 3 lengthwise cuts. 
• Turn the half flat side down, so the cut pieces are stacked parallel with your cutting board.
• Cut 3 – 4 lengthwise cuts, perpendicular to the previous cuts.
• Repeat with the other half

In a large bowl, soak the cut fries, in 1 bottle of beer

Let soak for 15min, tossing 1 – 2x.

Drain beer and toss with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper, until well coated.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment (optional, but nice for quick clean up!) and spread the fries, in a single layer on the pan.  Use two pans, if needed.  You don’t want them stacked.

Bake for 40 minutes – 1 hour depending on how crispy you like them, tossing 3-4 times. 

Add more salt and pepper to your liking.
