Instructions

1. Slice Potatoes

   Time: PT10M

   Time: PT20M

   Temperature: 200°C

7. Make Garlic Butter Sauce

   While the fries are cooking, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1‑2 minutes until fragrant (do not brown). Remove from heat.

8. Toss Fries in Sauce

   Transfer the hot fries to a large mixing bowl, pour the garlic butter over them, add grated Parmesan and chopped parsley, and toss gently to coat.
