    I wrote this post as part of my participation in a blog tour on behalf of Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. McNeil Consumer Healthcare Division, the makers of PEPCID®. I received compensation to thank me for taking the time to participate. However, all opinions expressed are my own. We live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and if you are a foodie, this is the place you want to be. There are so many amazing restaurants and local delicacies. Yet, for me, one of my favorite local foods is found in a ballpark. If you have ever been to a San Francisco Giants game then you have probably had their amazing garlic fries. San Francisco is not far from the town of Gilroy, California, the self proclaimed "garlic capital of the world." People in the Bay Area love their garlic and they love these fries. But you don't need to hop on a San Francisco bound plane to enjoy them. You can make this Garlic Fries Recipe at home and enjoy the same local flavors we find at the ballpark.

    This Garlic Fries Recipe is just as good as the legendary fries served at San Francisco Giants games! Now you can make them at home. #PEPCID #PEPCIDTastemakers #sponsored

    Of course as delicious as these garlic fries are, they are greasy and can cause heartburn in some people. How does heartburn occur? It happens when acid escapes from your stomach up into your esophagus. Since the esophagus isn't meant to house acid, you start to feel the burn. The most common heartburn trigger is food, and fatty foods and garlic can be culprits. Other foods that can trigger heartburn include tomatoes, coffee, chocolate, raw onions, mints, vinegar, citrus fruits and juices, spicy foods, ketchup and mustard and alcohol. That is quite a list!

    We used a french fry slicer to easily cut our potatoes, but if you don't have one, just cut them by hand with a knife. I like to leave the skins on, but you can peel the potatoes if you prefer your fries that way.

    Since we love making this garlic fries recipe, we invested in a deep fryer. If you don't have one, you can simply fry the potatoes up in a large pot filled with 2 quarts of vegetable oil that has been heated to 375 degrees. If you are using a deep fryer, simply follow the directions for frying that came with your unit.

    You will want to fry these potatoes for 10-12 minutes or until they are a deep golden brown and crisp. If you don't fry them until they are a deep golden brown, they might not stay crispy when you add the olive oil and garlic.

    What makes this garlic fries recipe unique is that you use two types of oils. They potatoes get fried in vegetable oil and then topped with garlic infused olive oil. You will certainly want to keep some napkins nearby when you eat them!

      I've never had the courage to make fries completely from scratch. I've doctored frozen ones many times though.

      There are a few things that hubby can't eat because he gets heartburn. He uses something else however. I will have to tell him to use this and see if it works. BTW those fries look delish!

      I love making my own fries, and we have even made fries very similar to this!! Except we don't own a deep fryer or fry the fries we make... we bake them! 🙂

      I have GERD so I know what that feels like. Great now that I can eat the banned foods and not suffer.

      Heartburn. That fiery sensation that grabs hold of your lower chest after you eat something you know you shouldn't have. But yum to the fresh french fries!!

      Your daughter is very cute! I love how you invested in a potato slicer. I have never had a heart burn, but I heard it can be very unpleasant.

      These fries look so flavorful and crispy. It's great that there is Pepcid to be able to enjoy them because of my acid reflux.
