Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut each potato into thin sticks, about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick.
Soak the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a towel.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato sticks with olive oil until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Toss until the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with non-stick spray. Arrange the potato sticks in a single layer, leaving space between each fry.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, use a spatula to flip the fries, and return to the oven. Bake for another 15-20 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
While the fries are baking, finely chop the parsley.
Once baked, remove fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve hot as a delicious side dish or enjoy as a flavorful snack.
