How to Make Basil Garlic Oven Fries
- In a pestle and mortar, combine 4 cloves garlic, 1 tsp salt, 1 tbsp cracked black peppercorns, and the juice of 1/2 lemon. Grind to a smooth paste.
- In a blender, combine 1/4 cup olive oil and 1 cup packed fresh basil leaves. Blend until smooth.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the garlic paste and basil oil.
- Add 2 lbs. of peeled and cut potatoes (about 1 inch thick) to the bowl. Toss until potatoes are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a heavy baking sheet with olive oil.
- Arrange potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
