Recipe notes & preparation tips
To make non-garlic croutons, simply omit the garlic.
One may omit the prep work of mincing the garlic by adding the whole cloves of garlic to the oil and then crushing the garlic (either with a mortar or a fork).
By using very small bread cubes, frying crisp, and omitting the baking, these croutons may be used in place of potatoes.
