Ingredients
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut each potato into thin sticks, about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick.
Step 3
Soak the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a towel.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato sticks with olive oil until evenly coated.
Step 5
Sprinkle the garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Toss until the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Step 6
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with non-stick spray. Arrange the potato sticks in a single layer, leaving space between each fry.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, use a spatula to flip the fries, and return to the oven. Bake for another 15-20 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
While the fries are baking, finely chop the parsley.
Step 9
Once baked, remove fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 10
Serve hot as a delicious side dish or enjoy as a flavorful snack.
