Do I have to use frozen french fries?

If you would rather use homemade steak fries, you are certainly welcome to do that. However, I can’t give you specific instructions on how to adapt the recipe!

Should you use Red Robin frozen steak fries?

You certainly can! If you do, they are typically pre-seasoned, so you will want to skip the extra seasonings listed in the recipe.

Can I make these in the Air Fryer?

I haven’t made them in the Air Fryer yet, but I’m quite certain you can! Just follow the instructions and put them in the Air Fryer instead of the oven!

Where can you find frozen french fries in the grocery store?

They are typical with all the frozen potatoes, which are often in the same aisle as the frozen vegetables. However, all stores are different. I’m sure a grocery store employee can help you if you are having trouble. I also like using the grocery store apps for stores I go to because they usually tell me where to go!

What sauce is best with these fries?

There’s no wrong answer! They are quite flavorful, so some may argue you don’t even need a dipping sauce. However, ranch dressing and an easy garlic aioli are always popular. I don’t like blue cheese, but I know a lot of people do, so that might be another good option!

I also love Red Robin’s campfire sauce, pictured with the ones we made. I’ll try to share that recipe another time.

Do I need to use fresh garlic?

I recommend using fresh garlic in this recipe. It makes a difference! But if you are in a pinch, you can certainly try using garlic powder. I have not done this myself.

This will vary depending on where you live! I have seen them at the Kroger affiliate near us and at Walmart.

How can I make these healthier?

Could you use a little olive oil instead of vegetable or canola oil or completely forego the oil and use a cooking spray to coat the frozen fries?

Can I use cheddar cheese instead of parmesan?

Well, you could, but they wouldn’t be garlic parmesan fries anymore, would they? If you’re looking for other fantastic cheese-based recipes like the Chick-fil-A Mac and Cheese that has been a hit with my family and friends, you might want to explore a classic favorite like homemade macaroni and cheese. It’s a dish loved by many and offers that comforting, cheesy goodness everyone enjoys.
