These fries are a bit too oily for my liking. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

The lemon flavor is a bit too strong for my taste. I think I'll try using less lemon zest next time.

I've tried many lemon fry recipes, but this one is by far the best. The combination of lemon zest, garlic, and herbs is perfect.
