These crispy garlic parmesan fries are a quick and easy homemade snack with a perfect balance of crispy outside and tender inside, flavored with garlic and parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled or unpeeled
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and peel (if preferred) the russet potatoes. Cut them into uniform sticks about ¼ to ½ inch thick.
  3. Place the cut fries into a large pot of boiling salted water. Boil for 3 to 4 minutes until just tender but still firm.
  4. Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them steam off excess moisture. Pat dry with a kitchen towel if needed.
  5. In a large bowl, toss the parboiled fries with olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs if using.
  6. Arrange the fries in a single layer on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  8. Immediately sprinkle the finely grated parmesan over the hot fries and toss gently to coat.
  9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Parboiling the potatoes is essential for crispy fries. Dry the fries thoroughly before baking to avoid sogginess. Use a wire rack for even air circulation. Add parmesan immediately after baking for best flavor and texture. For dairy-free, substitute parmesan with nutritional yeast. Avoid microwaving leftovers; reheat in oven at 400°F for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.
