Ingredients

For the Fries:

  • 3 large russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4-5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Flaky salt

For the Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup avocado oil mayo
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon pickle juice
  • Salt & pepper

Instructions

For the Fries:

  • Wash the potatoes and cut them into 1/2”, long and thin fries.
  • Add them to a bowl of cold water. Allow to soak for about 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and to crisp up the potatoes. Drain and pat the potatoes very, very dry. You don’t want any excess water or the fries will not crisp.
  • Preheat the oven to 425. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Add the potatoes to one of the sheets and season with avocado oil, kosher salt, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Toss very well to ensure all fries are evenly coated.
  • Transfer half of the seasoned fries to the other baking sheet and spread them out in an even layer. You want ample space between them to help them crisp.
  • Transfer both baking sheets to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, toss the fries on both sheets, and add them back to the oven, rotating them so the sheet that was closer to the bottom rack is now on the higher rack. Continue to cook for 15-20 minutes until the fries are very golden and crisp. Remove from the oven.
  • Immediately upon removing from the oven, evenly distribute the grated garlic amongst both sheets and toss them to combine. This will barely cook the garlic and will mellow out the harsh flavor. Season with extra flaky salt and parsley.

For the Sauce:

  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a medium bowl, add the mayo, ketchup, Dijon, garlic, lemon juice, pickle juice, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

To Serve:

  • Serve fries with the dipping sauce and enjoy!
