Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick fries, keeping the sizes consistent for even cooking.
Soak the fries in a bowl of cold water for at least 20 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving crispiness.
Drain and thoroughly dry the fries to prevent steaming and ensure they become crispy when baked.
Toss the dried fries with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, then coat evenly with grated Parmesan.
Arrange the fries on a baking tray in a single layer without touching, to allow them to roast properly.
Bake for 25-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy. Watch closely as oven times may vary.
Let the fries cool slightly to crisp up further, then sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
