These ultra savory fries are terrific with pan-roasted steak or as a snack on their own.

  1. One 15-ounce bag frozen french fries made with olive oil
  2. 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  3. 1 large garlic clove, minced
  4. 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh sage
  5. 2 tablespoons freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese
  6. Freshly ground pepper
  1. Bake the french fries according to package directions until golden and crisp. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook over moderate heat until light golden, about 3 minutes. Add the sage and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the fries with the garlic-sage butter and the pecorino until well coated. Season with pepper and serve at once.
