Print Recipe

Crispy Garlic Herb French Fries with Aioli are golden, crunchy fries tossed with fresh herbs and minced garlic, served alongside a creamy, flavorful aioli dipping sauce. They make the perfect snack, appetizer, or side dish for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin fries
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or a mix of parsley and thyme)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Aioli:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced or grated
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry thoroughly.
  3. Toss fries with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
  5. In the last 2–3 minutes of baking, sprinkle fries with minced garlic and chopped herbs. Return to oven briefly to toast the garlic without burning.
  6. For the aioli, mix mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  7. Serve fries hot with aioli on the side.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, bake on a metal rack or air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes.
  • Use pre-cut fries to save time, adjusting bake time as needed.
  • Try truffle oil or Parmesan for extra indulgence.
  • Aioli can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
