For extra crispiness, consider broiling the fries for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent burning. Adjust the amount of garlic and thyme to suit your preference. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. These fries pair wonderfully with aioli, a simple yogurt dip, or as a side to roasted chicken or grilled fish.
