Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Leave the skin on for extra crispiness.
Slice the potatoes into thin strips, approximately 1/4-inch thick, to create a fry shape.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil until evenly coated.
Add garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well to ensure the potatoes are evenly seasoned.
Spread the seasoned potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Overlapping will prevent them from crisping properly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the tray and carefully flip the fries to ensure even cooking.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the fries, then return to the oven 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 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate, garnish with extra Parmesan or parsley if desired, and serve immediately!
