Ingredients

• 4 large Idaho potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup, grated (optional) Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the Idaho potatoes thoroughly but leave the skin on for added texture and flavor. Pat the potatoes dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into evenly sized fries, approximately 1/2-inch thick, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.

Step 4

Transfer the sliced potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle them with the olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

Step 5

Add the chopped rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss again until the fries are well-coated with the herb mixture.

Step 6

Spread the fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overlapping to ensure crispiness.

Step 7

Roast the fries in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

If using, sprinkle the roasted fries with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese immediately after removing them from the oven, allowing it to melt slightly.

Step 9

Serve the herb-roasted Idaho potato fries warm as a side dish or snack. Optionally, pair them with your favorite dipping sauce.
