Preparing Team BBQ or Team Garlic Butter Fries

Making these fries is a straightforward process, which is part of what makes them so appealing. Begin by preheating your oven according to the instructions on your frozen fries package. As the fries get nice and crispy, you’ll prepare two delicious sauces. One will be a quick and easy BBQ sauce, while the other will be a comforting garlic butter blend that adds an aromatic twist. By the time the fries are out of the oven, those two dips will be ready for action!
