Garlic Seasoned Fries

Directions

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch strips. Combine potato strips, oil, salt and pepper in a large plastic bag and toss to coat.
2. Spread potatoes in a single layer onto a baking pan, leaving space between the potatoes. Bake for 20 minutes and turn potato strips. Bake for 30 more minutes, or until golden brown.
3. Place butter and garlic in a large nonstick skillet. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly; add potatoes, parsley, and bacon bits. Toss to coat in garlic mixture. Serve alongside tasting forks.
