Ingredients
- 5–7 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- 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. Drain and thoroughly dry the fries.
- 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 bake properly.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy. Watch closely as oven cooking times may vary.
- Let the fries cool slightly to crisp up further, then sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.
