I like to look at restaurant menus for inspiration when I am planning meals. We eat out once a blue moon but I kept hearing people talk about Wingstops fries! So, I decided to create my own version of their Garlic Parmesan fries.

The first time I made this recipe all of the Little Cats’ N Bearz had two and three helping of the fries!!! Unfortunately Poppa Bear did not get any because the Littles liked them that much…

I will add pictures and a more thorough description after I finish cooking tonight!

Notes

• I normally double this recipe in order to feed a family of 5 who REALLY loves potatoes!!!
• When you take the potatoes out of the oil place them on paper towels to help drain the grease from them.
