Ingredients

---

Directions

1. To make these baked french fries, preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Scrub and cut potatoes with skin on.
3. Cut the potato in half, lengthwise.
4. Depending on how thick you want the fries, make 2 - 3 lengthwise cuts.
5. Turn the half flat side down, so the cut pieces are stacked parallel with your cutting board.
6. Cut 3 - 4 lengthwise cuts, perpendicular to the previous cuts.
7. Repeat with the other half
8. In a large bowl, soak the cut fries, in 1 bottle of blonde ale.
9. Let soak for 15 minutes, tossing 1 - 2 times.
10. Drain beer and toss with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper, until well coated.
11. 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.
12. Bake for 40 minutes – 1 hour depending on how crispy you like them, tossing 3-4 times.
13. Add more salt and pepper to your liking.
