Ingredients

Scale

Fries

  • 4 medium Russet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Toppings

  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for crisp, evenly cooked fries.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into even strips approximately half an inch thick for consistent cooking.
  3. Soak Potatoes: Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve crispiness.
  4. Dry Potatoes: Drain and thoroughly dry the soaked potatoes using paper towels to remove moisture that could prevent crisping.
  5. Season Fries: In a large bowl, toss the dried potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the fries in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to allow air circulation and even baking.
  7. Bake Fries: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through to ensure they cook evenly and develop a golden brown color.
  8. Add Parmesan Cheese: Once the fries are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese while still hot so the cheese adheres well.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the fries with chopped fresh parsley if desired, then serve hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Soaking the potatoes removes excess starch, leading to crispier fries.
  • Drying the potatoes thoroughly before baking is crucial to avoid soggy fries.
  • Using freshly grated Parmesan provides better flavor and melting compared to pre-grated cheese.
  • Flipping the fries halfway through baking ensures even crispiness on all sides.
  • Parsley is optional but adds a fresh, vibrant garnish.
