The taste is so good with the lemon zest, parsley and garlic. I just had a small problem. The potatoes stuck to the pyrex dish. Next time I'll cook them longer at 350 F. Made for 123 hit wonders. Thanks SusieQusie :)

Wonderful fries!! Didn't have any lemon, so used lime instead (can't wait to try these with lemon!!) - and they turned out so tasty! Thanks SusieQusie!

These fries were easy and tasted great. I love garlic, but I think next time I'll just use garlic powder because the fresh garlic was just a little too strong. Thanks for posting!
