Garlicky Oven Fries

My wonderful Hubby gave me a subscription to Cooks Country Magazine for Christmas. When my first issue arrived on the doorstep, I knew I was in for a treat. The first recipe I tried was for Garlicky Oven Fries--- boy do I love French Fries! These were great-- crisp on the outside creamy inside and oh so garlicky!

(adapted from Cooks Country)

Serves 4

7 cloves garlic minced
6tablespoons veg. oil
3 Russet potatoes scrubbed and cut into 12 wedges
2 tbs cornstarch
1 1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Set the oven rack to the lowest position possible ad heat oven to 475. Combine garlic and oil in large bowl and microwave until garlic is fragrant. (hopefully this will fit in your microwave) about 1 min. Transfer 5 tbs oil leaving garlic in bowl to rimmed baking sheet turning sheet to coat.

Add potatoes to bowl with remaining oil mixture and toss to coat. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high until potatoes are translucent around the edges, 3-6 minutes, shaking bowl to redistribute potatoes halfway through cooking time.

Combine cornstarch salt pepper and garlic powder in small bowl. Sprinkle over hot potatoes and toss to coat (you need a big bowl for this). Arrange potatoes in single layer on prepared baking sheet ad bake turning once until brown and crisp---30 to 40 min.
