Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

You’ll also need an oven, a baking sheet, a sharp knife, and a garlic press.

The Russet potatoes have low moisture, which makes them perfect for crispy fries. Garlic and Parmesan provide an intensified flavor that takes these fries to a whole new level. If Parmesan isn’t available, you can use cheddar instead.

How To Make Garlic Parmesan Oven Fries

1. Preheat your oven to 425��F (220��C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut into thin sticks.
3. In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss the potatoes in this mix until they’re well coated.
4. Spread out the fries on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes or until golden and crispy.
5. Once done, sprinkle the grated Parmesan on top and serve hot!

Tips For The Best Results

• Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for an hour to remove excess starch. This will make them extra crispy.
• Try not to crowd the fries on the baking sheet.

Storage Tips

• Fries can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in the oven to get the crispiness back.
