• cookie sheet
• bowl
• wooden spoon

• oil or cooking spray
• 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 t olive oil
• 4 medium-to-large boiling potatoes, scrubbed and unpeeled
• 2 T soy sauce
• up to 3 t Tabasco
• 2 T rice wine vinegar
• black pepper

Very lightly oil the cookie sheet (unless it's non-stick) and set aside.

Combine oil and garlic in the bowl. Cut potatoes into ¼-inch sticks and toss with oil. Add soy, Tabasco, and vinegar and toss again.

Spread fries into a single layer on the cookie sheet and grind pepper over them.

Bake for 10 minutes, remove from oven, and shake/stir to turn the fries over. Continue baking another 10 minutes, shake again, and return to over for another 10 minutes. Check fries to see if they are ready - brown and slightly crispy on the ends. If not, return to oven and check regularly until done.
