Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 8 large Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh, chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on. Pat them dry with a towel.
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized fries, about 1/4-inch thick, for consistent cooking.
Mince the garlic finely, or use a garlic press for a finer texture. Alternately, make a garlic paste by mashing the minced garlic with a pinch of salt.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato fries with olive oil until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika over the fries. Toss again to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Overcrowding can lead to steaming rather than crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the fries over with a spatula and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese (if using) for added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your deliciously garlicky baked potato fries!
