Description

These Crispy Baked Parmesan Garlic Fries are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional fried fries. Coated in olive oil and seasoned with garlic powder, smoked paprika, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, they bake to a golden, crispy perfection. Garnished with fresh parsley, they make a perfect appetizer or side dish that pairs well with your favorite dipping sauces.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 4 large russet potatoes, cut into fries

Seasonings and Oil

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Toppings and Garnish

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray to prevent the fries from sticking and to ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Fries: In a large bowl, toss the cut potato fries with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until they are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil. This mixture enhances flavor and helps the fries crisp up.
  3. Bake the Fries: Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded so they can bake evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then carefully flip the fries to promote even browning, and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
  4. Add the Parmesan and Garlic: Once the fries are fully baked and crispy, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot fries. Toss gently to coat the fries with the cheese, making them flavorful and savory. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a fresh, vibrant touch.
  5. Serve: Serve the Crispy Baked Parmesan Garlic Fries hot, ideally with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup, aioli, or ranch for a delicious snack or side dish.

Notes

  • Use russet potatoes for the best texture and crispiness.
  • Make sure to cut fries uniformly for even cooking.
  • Flipping fries halfway through baking helps achieve an even crisp.
  • For extra crispiness, soak cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry thoroughly before tossing with oil and spices.
  • Fresh parsley garnish is optional but adds color and freshness.
