Baked Parmesan Potato Fries

🧂 Ingredients

You’ll need just a handful of simple ingredients:

• 4 medium russet potatoes, washed and cut into thin fries
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

🔪 Instructions

1. Preheat the oven:
   Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
2. Prepare the potatoes:
   Cut the potatoes into even-sized sticks. For extra crispiness, soak them in cold water for 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch, then pat dry completely with paper towels.
3. Season:
   In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato sticks with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the Parmesan cheese and toss again to coat evenly.
4. Bake:
   Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding — this helps them crisp up nicely.
   Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
5. Serve:
   Remove from the oven and sprinkle with a little extra Parmesan and fresh parsley. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce — think garlic aioli, ketchup, or spicy sriracha mayo.
