Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Gluten-free Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Slice them into evenly sized batons, about 1/4 inch thick, ensuring even cooking.
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them crisp up better in the oven.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Drying is crucial for achieving crispiness.
In a clean, dry bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd them to ensure maximum crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, flip the fries using a spatula to ensure even cooking on both sides. Continue baking for another 15–20 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly over the top.
Return the fries to the oven for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish the cheesy fries with chopped fresh parsley and green onions before serving. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your gluten-free cheesy fries!
