Oven-Baked Garlic and Parmesan Fries
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and slice the potatoes into thin, even strips for uniform cooking. Place them in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch. This step ensures crispier fries.
- Season the Fries
- Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss to coat evenly.
- Bake the Fries
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they don’t overlap for even cooking.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crisp.
- Add Parmesan and Finish
- Remove the fries from the oven, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and return them to the oven for an additional 2–3 minutes, just until the cheese melts and adheres.
- Garnish with dried or fresh parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these fries hot with a side of ketchup, garlic aioli, or a tangy ranch dip for the ultimate indulgence.
