Skinny Garlic Parmesan Fries

Skinny Garlic Parmesan Fries are a healthier alternative to a fast-food favorite.  They're baked in a mere tablespoon of olive oil, then dusted with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.  You'll love the crispy texture and the robust flavor -- but you won't miss the fat or calories! 

 



Today's post is a bit of a departure from my usual lineup of decadent desserts.  But this recipe is so good that I felt compelled to share it, even though it doesn't quite fit the theme of this blog.

I made these Skinny Garlic Parmesan Fries as part of a quick weeknight dinner.  I didn't feel like pulling out the mandoline slicer, so I cut the potatoes by hand.  But honestly, as long as you aren't making enough fries to feed the Duggar family, this step isn't that time consuming.  While cutting the potatoes, I infused my olive oil with a couple of minced garlic cloves.  The potatoes are tossed in the garlicky olive oil and then baked at 450 degrees for about 30-35 minutes.  While they're still piping hot, top them with your minced garlic and a light layer of Parmesan.
