Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skin on. Slice them into evenly sized wedges or strips, approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap for even cooking.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, flip the fries over, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Step 6
Once the fries are fully cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the fries.
Step 7
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 8
Carefully remove from the oven and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the cheesy fries for a fresh garnish.
Step 9
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Cheesy Oven Fries!
