Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the russet potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick sticks.
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl. Rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch.
Dry the potatoes completely using a kitchen towel or paper towels.
In the same bowl, toss the dried potato sticks with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the pan and turn each fry over using tongs.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until fries are golden brown and crispy.
While the fries are baking, mince the fresh garlic cloves finely.
In a small skillet, heat a teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
Once the fries are done baking, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving bowl.
Add the sautéed garlic over the fries and toss gently to combine.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top and serve immediately for best texture.
