These French Fries pack a whole lot of flavor! Garlic lovers, this will have you swooning. I originally got this recipe from Cooks Country. You would think you got these fries from a restaurant. They are baked and not deep fried. By microwaving the potatoes first, they dont take alot of time in the oven. It also infuses the potatoes with garlicky goodness! The cornstarch helps them come out crispy. They are crispy on the outside, and smooth and creamy on the inside. Just plain YUM!

Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 475 degrees. Combine minced garlic and oil in a large bowl and microwave until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer 5 tablespoons of oil (leaving the minced garlic in the bowl) to rimmed baking sheet, turning to coat the bottom of the sheet.

Step 2

Add potatoes to bowl with remaining oil and minced garlic. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high power until potatoes are translucent around edges, 3-6 minutes,shaking bowl halfway through cooking.
Step 3

Combine cornstarch,salt,pepper and garlic powder in small bowl. Sprinkle over hot potatoes and toss well to coat. Arrange potatoes in single layer on prepared sheet and bake, turning once half way through baking,until deep golden brown and crisp, about 30-40 minutes.
