Parmesan and Garlic Fries

Crispy, golden, and packed with flavor, these Parmesan and Garlic Fries are the ultimate upgrade to your classic fry game. Made with hearty russet potatoes, this recipe combines the rich nuttiness of freshly grated Parmesan cheese with the bold, aromatic punch of minced garlic and garlic powder.

Soaking the potatoes beforehand ensures the perfect texture, while flipping them midway through baking guarantees even crispiness.

Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder

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 peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into thin, even strips to create fries.

Step 3

Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for 10–15 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps the fries become crispier.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 5

Return the potatoes to the large bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until the fries are evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded. Use two baking sheets if necessary.

Step 7

Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness.

Step 8

While the fries are baking, finely grate the Parmesan cheese and chop the fresh parsley, setting them aside for later.

Step 9

Once the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 10

Immediately sprinkle the hot fries with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Toss gently to coat.

Step 11

Serve the Parmesan and Garlic Fries hot as a snack, appetizer, or side dish, optionally paired with ketchup, garlic aioli, or your favorite dipping sauce.
