Perfectly seasoned and herbaceous, these garlic fries will quickly become a household favorite!
Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for extra texture and nutrition, or peel them if desired.
Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick strips to form fries. Try to keep them uniform in size for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato strips with olive oil, minced garlic (using a garlic press or finely chopped), salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss until the fries are evenly coated in the seasoning mixture.
Spread the fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren't crowded or overlapping. This helps them crisp up properly.
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through using a spatula. Keep an eye on them during the last 5 minutes to ensure they donβt burn.
Remove the fries from the oven once they are golden-brown and crispy on the edges.
Sprinkle the freshly baked fries with chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Serve them immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as aioli or ketchup, if desired.
