Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Fries
  • 4 large russet potatoes Cut into evenly sized wedges
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and cut them into evenly sized wedges, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Optionally, soak the potato wedges in cold water for about 30 minutes to achieve extra crispiness.
Cooking
  1. Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Toss with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Bake for about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
  4. In the last few minutes of baking, sprinkle the fries generously with Parmesan cheese and bake for an additional 5 minutes until melted.
  5. Once done, sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the pan to prevent steaming. Experiment with seasonings and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the oven for optimal crispiness.
