Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 4 large potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold work best)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

How to Make Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set it to 425°F (220°C) to ensure nice, crispy fries.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and cut the potatoes into thin, fry-shaped strips. You can peel them if you prefer, but the skin adds extra texture and nutrients.
  3. Toss with Olive Oil and Garlic: In a large bowl, combine the potato strips, olive oil, and minced garlic. Toss well to coat evenly.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
  5. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  6. Add Parmesan and Season: Remove fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat while still warm.
  7. Optional Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and fresh flavor.
