Ingredients

3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 large baking potatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Cooking spray
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Heat garlic and oil in a small saucepan over medium heat for 2 minutes. Strain garlic from oil with a small mesh strainer. Set both garlic and oil aside. Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick matchsticks. In a large bowl, toss together the reserved oil, potatoes and salt. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and spread the potatoes on it in a single layer. Bake until golden and crisp, about 35 minutes.

Remove potatoes from the baking sheet with a metal spatula. In a serving bowl, toss potatoes with parsley, reserved garlic and salt to taste.
