Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup olive oil
Secondary Ingredients:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat the oven to a scorching 425F to ensure maximum crispiness for your fries.
- Scrub your russet potatoes clean, then slice them into precise ¼-inch matchsticks using a sharp knife.
- Whisk ¼ cup olive oil with 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon paprika in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Drop your potato strips into the seasoned oil mixture, using your hands to massage each strip until every surface is evenly coated.
- Arrange the fries on a large baking sheet, ensuring they sit in a single layer without overlapping to guarantee crisp edges.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, carefully flipping the fries with tongs halfway through cooking.
- When the fries turn golden brown and develop crisp edges, pull them from the oven and immediately shower with ½ cup grated parmesan cheese.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley over the hot fries for a burst of color and herbal brightness.
- Transfer the fries to a serving platter and enjoy while they’re piping hot and crunchy.
Notes
- Pat the potato strips completely dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent soggy fries.
- Use a sharp chef’s knife or mandoline slicer to create uniform potato strips for even cooking.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet, which steams the fries instead of creating a crisp exterior.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure the parmesan cheese is certified gluten-free and skip any breadcrumb additions.
