Wendy’s Garlic Fries Recipe

Wendys Garlic Fries are a flavor-packed side dish that I can’t get enough of. These fries are crispy, golden, and tossed with a generous amount of garlic and herbs, creating an irresistible combination of savory and aromatic flavors.

Preparing this recipe at home is surprisingly easy and brings that same fast-food charm right to my kitchen. I love how the garlic infuses into each fry, providing a delicious, zesty kick that elevates them from ordinary to extraordinary.

Whether I’m serving them as a side with burgers, enjoying them on their own, or sharing them at a gathering, these garlic fries always steal the show. They’re a great way to impress family and friends with a homemade touch while satisfying my cravings for Wendy’s signature taste.

Ingredients

• Russet potatoes 4 large (peeled and cut into fries)
• 4 cloves of garlic (minced)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (finely chopped)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)

How to Make Garlic Fries

1. Prep the Potatoes: Start by peeling the russet potatoes and cutting them into evenly-sized fries. To remove excess starch soak them in cold water for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and let it preheat.
3. Season the Fries: Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a towel. In a large mixing bowl, toss the fries with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
4. Bake the Fries: Arrange the fries in a single, even layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning them over halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
5. Prepare the Garlic Butter: While the fries are baking, melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
6. Toss the Fries: Transfer them to a large bowl, once the fries are done.  Pour the garlic butter mixture over the fries and toss well to coat. If desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
7. Serve Hot: Serve your garlic fries hot, garnished with a little extra parsley if you like.

Recipe Tips

• Use Fresh Garlic: Freshly minced garlic will give the fries a more robust flavor.
• Evenly Cut Fries: Try to cut the potatoes evenly to ensure they bake uniformly.
• Flip Halfway Through Baking: This helps achieve an even, golden crisp on all sides.

What To Serve With Garlic Fries

1. Grilled Chicken Sandwich: A classic pairing that balances the rich flavors.
2. Cheeseburgers: The garlic fries add a gourmet twist to this American favorite.
3. Caesar Salad: The freshness of the salad complements the savory fries.
4. BBQ Ribs: The smoky, sweet flavors of the ribs go well with the garlic fries.
5. Fish Tacos: A light and zesty option that pairs nicely with the fries.
6. Buffalo Wings: The spicy kick of wings is a great contrast to the garlicky fries.

Conclusion

Wendy’s Garlic Fries are a fantastic combination of crispy fries and savory garlic. They’re easy to make, full of flavor, and perfect for sharing. Whether you’re serving them at a party or enjoying them on your own, these fries are sure to be a hit.
