Description
Deliciously crispy and flavorful garlic Parmesan fries that are sure to be a hit at any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs (900g) Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tbsp high-heat oil (avocado, canola, or vegetable)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ cup (50g) finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Start by scrubbing the potatoes to clean them well. You can choose to leave the skins on for an extra crunch or peel them if you prefer a classic fry.
- Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and add a big pinch of salt. Soak for 30 minutes.
- After soaking, drain and rinse the potatoes thoroughly to remove any excess salt. Dry them completely with a kitchen towel.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss the dried potatoes with oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then carefully flip each fry to ensure they roast evenly.
- Bake for another 15-20 minutes until the fries are deeply golden brown and crispy.
- While the fries bake, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for just 60 seconds until fragrant.
- As soon as the fries come out of the oven, transfer them to a big bowl.
- Pour the garlic butter over the fries and toss well to coat.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Toss again until every fry is coated.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy for the best experience!
Notes
For best results, ensure even sizing of fries and proper soaking to achieve maximum crispiness.
