These garlic Parmesan shoestring fries might just ruin all other fries for you. Ultra-thin and dangerously crispy, they're fried to golden perfection and absolutely drenched in garlicky, buttery goodness, then buried under a snowfall of freshly grated Parmeggiano Reggiano. You may never go back to basic fries. —Lucy Wang, Los Angeles, California
