Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into evenly-sized sticks, about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick.
Place the cut potatoes into a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for 20 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them crisp up in the oven.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasoning coats the fries evenly.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is minimal overlap for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the tray and flip the fries using a spatula to ensure even browning.
Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy to your liking.
While the fries are baking, finely chop the fresh parsley and rosemary. In a small bowl, combine the chopped herbs with grated Parmesan cheese.
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large serving bowl.
Sprinkle the herb and Parmesan mixture over the fries while they are still hot, tossing gently to coat evenly.
Serve immediately as a side dish or snack, and enjoy your Herbed Parmesan Oven Fries!
