For the Fries:
- 2 large russet potatoes cut into thin wedges or fat match sticks
- 2 to 3 tsp starch like arrowroot or flour
- 1 tbsp oil
- salt pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp or more dried oregano or use fresh

- 2 tsp oil
- 5 cloves of garlic minced/finely chopped
- 3 Tbsp hummus or use cooked chickpeas + lemon juice
- 3 Tbsp Tahini
- 2 to 3 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- salt to taste 1/4 to 1/2 tsp
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp or more dried dill or parsley
- 2 to 3 Tbsp Water as needed to thin
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or oregano for garnish
Instructions
- Bake the fries: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F / 220ºc. Chop the potatoes. Press a paper towel on the potatoes to absorb excess moisture if needed.
- In a large bowl, add the chopped potatoes and toss in flour/starch. Then add oil and mix in. Sprinkle will salt, pepper, garlic, oregano and mix in.
- Spread the potatoes on parchment lined baking sheet with atleast a 1/4 inch between them. *Parchment papers have oven safe temperature mentioned on them. Do not use parchment with temp rating lower than 425. Bake on a greased baking sheet instead.
- 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. .
- Meanwhile make the garlic tahini hummus sauce: In a small skillet heat oil over medium-low heat. Add chopped garlic and cook until translucent. Stir occasionally.
- Blend the rest of the sauce ingredients and half of the cooked garlic until smooth. Taste and adjust salt, tang (lemon juice) and garlic.
- To serve: Place a double layer of freshly baked fries in a serving container. Dress generously with garlic sauce. Sprinkle cooked garlic over the sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh oregano or parsley. Serve!
