4 Russet potatoes
02 -
4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
→ Dairy
04 -
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
→ Oils and seasonings
05 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
06 -
1 teaspoon salt
07 -
½ teaspoon black pepper
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Set the oven to 220°C (425°F) to ensure it is hot enough to produce a crispy texture.
02 -
Wash, peel, and cut the Russet potatoes into sticks approximately 6-12 mm thick.
03 -
Submerge the cut potato sticks in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch and promote crispiness.
04 -
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and pat dry with a towel. Toss them in a large bowl with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
05 -
Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
06 -
Remove the fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Gently toss to coat evenly, then finish with freshly chopped parsley.
07 -
Enjoy the fries hot, either alone or accompanied by your preferred dipping sauce.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Soaking potatoes removes excess starch and helps achieve maximum crunch.
02 -
For extra crispiness, an air fryer can be used as an alternative cooking method.
03 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat at 200°C for 10 minutes to restore crispiness.
