Ingredients

• 4 large Russet Potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 6 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to resemble classic fries.

Step 3

Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them sit for about 10 minutes to remove excess starch.

Step 4

While the potatoes soak, mince the garlic cloves finely. Chop the fresh parsley finely and set both aside.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel to ensure they crisp up in the oven.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, toss the dried potato strips with olive oil, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.

Step 7

Arrange the potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each fry for even baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and flip the fries with a spatula.

Step 9

Return to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

While the fries bake, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small pan over low heat and saute the minced garlic until fragrant but not browned, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 11

Once the fries are done, transfer them to a large bowl. Immediately toss with the sautéed garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.

Step 12

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot fries and toss again until evenly distributed.

Step 13

Serve the garlic fries hot, either on their own or as a side to your favorite dish.
