Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potatoes 4-5 potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup chopped parsley
Instructions
- Arrange baking racks in top and bottom third of oven. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. If you have a double oven, bake pans separately in top third of ovens. They will crisp better if baked on top the entire cooking time.
- Cut potatoes into ¼ inch sticks. Pat potatoes completely dry with paper towels. If time permits, allow to sit in paper towels for 30 minutes to reduce moisture.
- Place cut potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated. Keep any leftover oil in mixing bowl.
- Arrange potatoes in a single layer on baking sheets. Bake for 25 minutes, switching pans halfway through.
- Remove fries from oven and dump into mixing bowl. Toss with parmesan cheese and parsley.
- Return fries to oven and bake about 10 mins more until cheese is melted and fries are crispy, turning on the broiler for the last 5 minutes and rotating the pans again.
- Remove from oven and season with a bit more salt. Serve with desired dipping sauce.
