Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skin on. Slice them into evenly sized wedges or strips, approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, flip the fries over, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Once the fries are fully cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the fries.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove from the oven and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the cheesy fries for a fresh garnish.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Cheesy Oven Fries!
