Introduction
I absolutely loved these so much that I wanted to share them with everybody! I found them in Cooking Light, but I must say, even though it states 6 servings, I would disagree. I would think more like 8-10. Maybe 6 if that's all you're eating, but we ate them alongside my Gourmet Fish Sandwiches and you don't need a whole plateful of fries, therefore reducing the size and the calories/fat.

Ingredients
-
4 tsp olive oil
3/4 tsp salt
3 lbs peeled baking potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips (lenghwise)
Cooking spray
2 T butter
8 cloves garlic, minced (about 5 tsp)
2 T fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 T fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
Directions
1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2) Combine first 3 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag, tossing to coat. Arrange potatoes in a single layer* on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400 degrees for 50 minutes or until potatoes are tender and golden brown, turning after 20 minutes.
3) Place butter and garlic in a large nonstick skillet, and cook over med. heat 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add potatoes, parsley, and Parmesan cheese to pan; toss to coat. Serve immediately.
*Note: Make sure the potatoes are in a single layer. If not, when they are on top of each other or touching, they create a steaming effect and don't crisp up and you will have soggy potatoes, not french fries. Trust me, I have learned from experience! : ( If you need to use two baking sheets, do so and just rotate them a couple of times during baking. The fries will turn out fine.
