Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 large Potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold) High starch content for fluffy interior.
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil Helps fries crisp up and adds flavor.
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder For intense garlic flavor.
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese Freshly grated for best results.

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into even-sized sticks, about ¼ inch thick.
- Rinse the cut fries under cold water to remove excess starch, then drain and pat them dry.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried fries with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the fries in a single layer.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden-brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the hot fries.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
For variations, consider adding cayenne pepper for spice or using sweet potatoes for a healthier option.
