I absolutely love garlic. It goes in just about every recipe I make, and people usually look worried by the amount I put in. I thought this would be right up my alley. I have to say unfortunately I was disappointed (and this was my first TJ’s product). I was making them for myself so I just put about one serving in the oven. After cooking, I opened the seasoning bag to put some on and seriously got HIT in the face with the strongest smelling garlic ever. It contained lots of huge chunks of absolutely raw garlic, and didn’t even seem to have mellowed in the marinade. After tasting my fries, I threw the rest of the seasoning packet away, and I reeked of garlic for the rest of the night! I had to burn two candles today after work when I noticed the smell was still very strong. On the positive side, the fries themselves were absolutely delicious and I would buy them again on their own merit and toss the packet. If you think you love garlic more than I, definitely go for it, but I suggest warming up (in a bowl of warm water) the packet and snipping it open to get a sense of what you are in for. I realized afterwards that the garlic might be better if you coat the fries before you bake them. I’ve done that with minced garlic on regular potatoes before and it comes out great. I maybe brave enough to give that a try next time!
