Instructions
Creating Baked Parmesan Garlic Fries is a simple process. Just follow these step-by-step instructions for exceptional fries:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve a crispy texture.
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even-sized fries, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure they cook uniformly.
3. Soak the Fries: Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch and leads to crispier fries.
4. Dry the Fries: After soaking, drain the water and spread the fries out on a clean kitchen towel. Pat them dry to remove any moisture.
5. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
6. Coat the Fries: Add the dried fries to the bowl and toss them in the olive oil mixture until they’re well coated.
7. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the fries and toss again to ensure every fry is covered.
8. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay out the fries in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded.
9. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through for even cooking. Bake until golden brown and crispy.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley for color and extra flavor, then serve immediately.
These steps will guide you through the process of making incredible Baked Parmesan Garlic Fries that are both delicious and satisfying.
