First off, I love that you use a regular ole russet potato with these, something most of us have on hand. Secondly, I love garlic. Third, these look fried and taste super crunchy but they are baked! Love it!
I will be honest though, I messed up the recipe a bit. I didn't add enough potatoes so I had too much other ingredients. It wasn't a huge problem except I could taste the cornstarch a bit. Dennis couldn't, he said these were "picture and blog worthy."
The other mistake I made was to microwave them a teeny bit too long in that they were starting to fall apart when I tossed them with the cornstarch mixture. I was sure I had failed this recipe but no, it's pretty fool proof even with all my "mistakes."
They were packed with flavor, crispy, and all gone by the time dinner was over! I served them with comeback sauce (recipe to follow) but I think next time I'd serve them with sour cream kinda like potato skins! YUM!
Try the comeback sauce with seafood also - great on crabcakes or fish for something different than tarter sauce. It reminds me a lot of the sauce that comes with a "blooming onion" from that steak place, so I also use it as a dip with onion rings (served that at Super Bowl).
