Garlic Fries

These copycat garlic fries are so easy to make at home and they smell delicious and taste amazing! Bake them in the oven or the air fryer.

Rally Fries

The baseball team of choice at our house is the Seattle Mariner’s, my husband is a big fan.

For those of you who know me, I’m not much of a sport’s fan. 

I go to baseball games for the food and for a baseball stadium, Mariner’s Safeco Field has pretty good food.  One of the first things you smell when you enter Safeco Field is the amazing aroma of garlic fries or Rally Fries. They are so good and so garlicky!

Mariner's Rally Fries

Today’s recipe is my version of Mariner’s Garlic Fries.  This homemade fries recipe tastes just like the fries you enjoy at the park. 

The first time I made these I didn’t put the garlic and parsley topping on all the fries thinking one of the girls might not like it, but I was wrong.  They loved them and I ended up adding the reserved fries in with the rest.

What is in Garlic Fries?

  • Potatoes. Use russet potatoes for the best results.
  • Oil. I prefer canola or vegetable oil. Olive oil is a little too strong.
  • Garlic. Garlic is the star of the show here so use fresh minced garlic or chopped garlic.
  • Parsley. I prefer to use fresh Italian parsley.

How to Make Garlic Fries

  • Slice potatoes in wedges.
  • Spray large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  • Toss potato wedges with canola oil in large bowl
  • Sprinkle potato wedges generously with salt and pepper; spread in single layer on prepared baking sheet
  • Roast potato wedges until tender and brown in spots, turning occasionally, about 45 minute
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper and add Garlic and Parsley Topping

Tips for Better Fries

  1. Line your baking sheet with aluminum foil to make clean up easier!
  2. Be generous with the oil and garlic, you won’t be sorry!
  3. These can be made up to 2 hours ahead of time and served at room temperature if you prefer. I prefer them warm out of the oven.
  4. Sprinkle fries with a little Parmesan cheese the last few minutes of baking.

What to Serve with Fries

  • Turkey Burger
  • Riblets
  • Instant Pot Ribs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen potato wedges?

Frozen potato wedges will work fine. You can bake them frozen. Just follow the recipe as written.

Can I make these in an air fryer.

They work great in an air fryer. Air fry at 400°F for 15-20 minutes and then toss with the garlic mixture as directed below.

Can I use any kind of french fry or potato wedge.

I have only used potato wedges but the recipe would work fine with shoe string fries, waffle fries, etc. Your baking time will vary though depending on the size of the potato.

Some of my other favorite potato recipe:

  • Sweet Potato Fries
  • Pie Fries
  • Sweet Potato Fries
  • Chili Roasted Potatoes
  • Parmesan Roasted Potatoes
  • Balsamic Roasted Potato Salad

    These fries look so inviting and like you said I bet they smell divine, I love the smell of garlic.
    What is the dipping sauce? It looks a bit lighter than Utah’s dipping sauce made with Katchup and mayo.

    I am so glad you found me – you are such a sweetie! One thing I can tell you is that my neighbors love me because I give a lot of food away! I love cooking and the process and of course some tasting too but then I send what I shouldn’t eat to the neighbors!
