Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Large Russet Potatoes | 2 |
| Olive Oil | 2 tbsp |
| Minced Garlic | 2 tsp |
| Garlic Powder | 1/4 tsp |
| Parmesan Cheese, Grated | 3 tbsp |
| Salt and Pepper | To taste |
How To Make Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries:
Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prep Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Wash and cut the russet potatoes into thin, even strips resembling classic French fries.
Step 2: Season and Spread
Place the potato strips on a foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, add the minced garlic, and season generously with salt and pepper. Toss everything together until the fries are evenly coated, then spread them out in a single layer—this helps them crisp up beautifully.
Step 3: Bake
Bake the fries for 30–40 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure both sides turn golden brown and crisp.
Step 4: Finish and Serve
Once baked to perfection, remove the fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle them with garlic powder and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Serve hot and enjoy every crispy, garlicky bite. These fries are the ultimate comfort side—perfect with burgers, sandwiches, or on their own as a savory snack!
