Ingredients
- Russet potatoes
- Fresh garlic
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Olive oil
- Fresh parsley
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is crucial for achieving that crunchy texture.
- Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even sticks, about ¼ to ½ inch thick.
- Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch and promote crispiness.
- Drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean towel. In a large bowl, toss the fries with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the fries out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake them for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese while they are still hot. Toss gently to coat.
- Finish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.
- Enjoy your Crispy Garlic Parmesan Fries hot, either on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce!

Keywords: Cut your fries into even sizes for consistent cooking. Make sure to space your fries out on the baking sheet to avoid steaming. Feel free to add other seasonings such as smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for a twist. For extra crunch, consider baking the fries twice. Pair these fries with homemade aioli or ketchup for an added kick!
