Ingredients

- Russet potatoes: Have you ever dreamt of extra crispy russet potatoes? (I have.) Russet potatoes are a great option for homemade fries as they allow for longer fries compared to other potato varieties.

Step-by-step Instructions: How To Make Rosemary Fries
This fuss-free method transforms ordinary potatoes into a gourmet side dish. In mere minutes of preparation and a short stint in the oven, you’ll be rewarded with perfectly golden and crispy fries infused with the delightful aromas of rosemary and garlic. Enjoy this healthier version of your traditional fast-food French fry.
- Preheat oven to 400°F/205°C.
- Toss uncooked french fries into a large bowl.
- In a mortar and pestle, combine rosemary, garlic powder, and salt and grind into a fine powder.
- Sprinkle mixture over fries and stir thoroughly until evenly coated for a delicious flavor.
- Spread french fries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and bake for 18-20 minutes.
- Flip the fries and cook for another 15-20 minutes until the fries are golden brown. (Feel free to ‘broil’ for the last couple of minutes for extra crispiness.)
Recipe Variations
While this recipe stands strong on its own, feel free to experiment! Add a touch of smoked paprika for a hint of smokiness or some grated vegan parmesan cheese for an extra layer of savory flavor.
- Fresh herbs: Feel free to use fresh rosemary instead of dried. I recommend using mincing the rosemary before use. Minced rosemary allows for optimal flavor.
- Potatoes: This recipe uses russet potatoes. However, Yukon gold potatoes or red potatoes will work just as well.
- Lemon juice: Fresh squeezed lemon juice drizzled on top gives these fries a zing!
- Vegan parmesan: Rosemary parmesan fries, anyone? Take this recipe to the next level with vegan parmesan cheese.
- Salt: This recipe calls for sea salt, but kosher salt would work just fine.
Storage Tips
To keep your fries tasting fresh and maintain their crispiness, it’s crucial to store them correctly. Whether you want to enjoy them the next day or save them for a later treat, we’ve got you covered.
Fridge
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to regain crispiness.
Freeze
I don’t recommend freezing these homemade rosemary garlic fries. However, you could freeze the cut raw fries prior to cooking them. To do so, spread freshly cut fries out in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for 3-4 hours (until fries are completely frozen). Next, transfer frozen fries to an airtight freezer-safe container to keep for up to 2-3 months.
