Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Prepare the fries
Cut the potatoes into thin strips. Soak them in cold water for 20–30 minutes — this removes excess starch and helps them bake up crispier.
Step 3: Season and toss
Drain and pat the fries dry with a towel. In a large bowl, toss them with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.
Step 4: Bake to perfection
Arrange the fries in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip and bake another 15–20 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Step 5: Add the Parmesan magic
While still hot, sprinkle the fries generously with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Toss lightly so every fry gets that garlicky, cheesy goodness.
These Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries are proof that simple ingredients can create extraordinary flavor. Crispy, savory, and perfectly seasoned, they’re the kind of side dish that steals the spotlight every time.
Serve them with a side of marinara, ranch, or even garlic aioli — and watch them disappear faster than you can say “seconds, please!” 🧀🍟
