Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry. Leave the skins on for extra texture. Cut the potatoes into thin wedges or sticks, trying to keep them evenly sized for uniform cooking.
Place the cut potatoes into a large bowl and drizzle the olive oil over them. Toss to coat all the pieces evenly.
Add the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well so the seasoning is distributed across all the fries.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This allows them to crisp up evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then carefully flip the fries with a spatula to ensure even browning. Bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Once out of the oven, immediately transfer the hot fries to a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and thyme leaves over the fries. Toss gently to coat.
Serve the Herb and Cheese Oven Fries warm as a side dish, snack, or appetizer. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
