Ingredients
Fries Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes, peeled (or scrubbed if keeping skins on)
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil (for baking) or enough oil for deep frying
- Salt, to taste
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) if baking.
- Cut the potatoes into fries and soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.
- Drain and dry the potatoes thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, toss the fries with vegetable oil, salt, and minced garlic.
Cooking
- If baking, spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- If frying, heat oil in a deep pan and fry the potatoes until golden and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and toss with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
- Serve hot.
Notes
These fries are best served hot and can be paired with your favorite dipping sauces. Soaking the fries helps remove excess starch, leading to a crispier fry. For extra flavor, you can add spices like paprika or cayenne before tossing. Make sure to dry the fries thoroughly after soaking to avoid sogginess.
