Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes:
- 2 large russet potatoes, cut into thin fries
Seasoning:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Bake: Spread the fries out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Sauté garlic: While the fries are baking, gently sauté the minced garlic in a small skillet with 1 teaspoon of olive oil over low heat until just fragrant, about 1–2 minutes.
- Combine: Once fries are done, transfer them to a large bowl. Toss immediately with the sautéed garlic, fresh parsley, and Parmesan cheese if using.
- Serve: Serve hot.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes before baking, then dry thoroughly.
- You can also air fry at 400°F for 20–25 minutes.
