Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic
Seasoning:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried parsley
Optional Garnish:
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare a large rimmed baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup and crisp fry edges.
- Thoroughly wash potatoes and slice them into uniform, thin fry-shaped strips, ensuring consistent thickness for even cooking.
- Pat potato strips completely dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve maximum crispiness during baking.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley to create a flavorful seasoning blend.
- Toss potato strips in the seasoning mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated and glistening with the aromatic oil and spices.
- Spread the seasoned potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap to promote proper crisping.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through to ensure golden-brown color on all sides.
- During the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the fries, allowing it to melt and create a crispy, cheesy crust.
- Remove from the oven when fries are golden, crisp, and the parmesan is slightly browned and bubbling.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, serving immediately while hot and crunchy for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Crisp Perfection Technique: Pat potatoes bone-dry before seasoning to guarantee maximum crunchiness and prevent soggy fries.
- Cheese Melting Hack: Add parmesan in the final baking minutes to create a delectable golden crust without burning.
- Uniform Cutting Pro: Use a sharp knife or mandoline slicer to ensure consistent potato strip thickness for even roasting.
- Dietary Adaptation: Swap regular potatoes with sweet potatoes for a lower-carb, nutrient-dense alternative that maintains the same delicious crispy texture.
