Crispy Baked Parmesan Garlic Fries

Crispy Baked Parmesan Garlic Fries are a delicious oven-baked snack featuring golden russet potatoes coated in a savory blend of garlic, Parmesan cheese, and Italian herbs.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 large Russet Potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/3 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs (oregano, basil, thyme mix)
  • Salt to taste
  • Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Start by washing and peeling the russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized fries to ensure uniform cooking. To get extra crispy fries, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes, then pat them completely dry.
  2. Season the Fries: Place the dried potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, grated Parmesan, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Toss the fries until each piece is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
  3. Arrange for Baking: Spread the fries out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure to leave space between each fry to allow the hot air to circulate and crisp the fries on all sides.
  4. Bake to Crispy Perfection: Bake the fries at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through. Bake until the fries are golden brown, crispy on the edges, and tender inside.
  5. Serve Immediately: Once out of the oven, if desired, sprinkle extra Parmesan or fresh parsley on top for a burst of freshness. Serve hot alongside your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

  • Use starchy russet potatoes for the best crispiness.
  • Soak fries in cold water to remove excess starch before baking.
  • Dry fries thoroughly to prevent steaming and sogginess.
  • Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Turn fries halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
  • Adjust baking time to achieve your desired crispiness but watch to avoid burning.
