Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute regular potatoes with sweet potatoes for a sweeter flavor and different texture. Just be aware that sweet potatoes may cook slightly faster, so keep an eye on them!

How can I store leftover garlic fries, and how do I reheat them?

Store leftover garlic fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, bake them in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes to restore their crispiness.

What should I do if my fries are soggy after frying or baking?

If your fries turn out soggy, try frying them for a little longer to achieve more crispiness. For baked fries, ensure they are spread out evenly on the baking tray to allow for proper air circulation and even cooking. You can also try increasing the oven temperature slightly for the last few minutes.
