Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries (Crispy, Cheesy & Oven-Baked)

  • Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into evenly sized fries for consistent cooking. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

    Step 2: Season the Fries

    In a large bowl, toss the potato fries with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and minced garlic until evenly coated.

    Step 3: Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Spread fries in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Do not overcrowd—use two pans if needed for crispier results.

    Step 4: Bake Until Crispy

    Bake for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fries are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

    Step 5: Add Parmesan and Finish

    Remove fries from oven and immediately sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and parsley. Return to oven for 3–5 minutes until cheese melts slightly. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Russet potatoes work best for crispiness.

  • Dry potatoes thoroughly before seasoning.

  • High oven temperature is key for golden fries.

  • Flip fries halfway for even browning.
