Baked Fries with Garlic Sauce offer crisp potato wedges seasoned with garlic powder, oregano, and salt, baked to a golden brown without deep frying. They are paired with a creamy garlic tahini hummus sauce made from roasted garlic, hummus, tahini, lemon juice, and herbs. This combination delivers a crunchy exterior with a tender center and a rich, tangy dipping sauce that complements the savory fries.

- Bake for 15 minutes. Turn the sheet around and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes or until golden/golden brown on most edges. do not over bake to too much brown as the potatoes get bitter when burnt. .
