Cheesy Garlic Fries in Foil
The easiest, cheesiest fries you will ever make in foil packets, baked to absolute crisp perfection!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or more, to taste
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 pound red potatoes, cut into 8 long wedges
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place potato wedges onto prepared baking sheet and fold up all 4 sides of the foil. Spoon the olive oil mixture over the potatoes. Fold the sides of the foil over the potato wedges, covering completely and sealing the packet closed.
- Place into oven and bake until tender, about 30-35 minutes.* Sprinkle with cheese; then broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the potatoes are crisp.
- Serve immediately, garnished with sour cream and chives, if desired.
Notes
*Baking time may need to be adjusted depending on the thickness of the potato wedges.
