Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin, evenly-sized strips to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Place the potato strips in a bowl of cold water and let soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve crispy fries.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean towel or paper towels.
Step 4
In a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.
Step 5
Carefully add the potatoes in small batches to the hot oil, frying for 4-5 minutes or until they are light golden and slightly crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat until all potatoes have been fried once.
Step 6
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the potatoes again in small batches for 2-3 minutes each, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on fresh paper towels.
Step 7
In a large bowl, toss the hot fries with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Step 8
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the fries as a garnish before serving.
Step 9
Serve the Parmesan fries immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy!
