| Yield: | 1 to 2 servings |
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons softened salted butter
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, minced
- 1 1/2 pounds seasoned frozen fries
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
- 1/2 cup garlic aioli (store bought)
- 1/2 cup ketchup
Instructions
- To make the garlic butter, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 4 to 5 minutes to sweat and release the flavor of the garlic. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Once cooled, add the butter, Parmesan and oregano to a small bowl. Mix in the olive oil and garlic. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Cook the fries according to the package instructions, then remove from the oven.
- Add the soft garlic butter to the fries and toss to coat. Garnish with the grated Parmesan and fresh parsley. Serve with the garlic aioli and ketchup on the side.

Reviews
These have good flavor, but the process didn’t benefit them. I put the garlic butter mixture on the fries on the same pan immediately after pulling them out of the oven, and the mixture never melted and blended into the fries as hoped. Following the recipe resulted in spots of garlic buttery parm sat on cool fries because they cool quickly. Before making this I thought it would have made more sense to cook the garlic in the butter and pour it over the fries. I wish I had gone with my instincts, then sprinkle with the parm and herbs. It would have been a more cohesive dish as well as less steps. Always a bonus. Although, the flavor profile is great, I’d dumb down the process, plus add more garlic. We love garlic!
Theses are awesome. Wouldn’t change anything in the recipe. The seasoned fries mixed with the garlic butter are so tasty. Thanks for sharing, Ree.
These were delicious!
Made these tonight with homemade fries done in my air fryer. So good!!! Will make again and again
Soooo good!!
We made this and paired them with a NY strip steak and basalmic Italian salad. Out of this world, good!
These were so good! I used tater tots because that’s what I had, then tossed the extra butter mixture on some chicken wings that we cooked in the air fryer. WOW! We liked the garlic Parmesan wings better than the wings we made with buffalo wing sauce.
Made these last night and they were wonderful. We used frozen seasoned wedge potatoes instead and they were amazing. Can’t wait to tell our adult children about these!
