Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes peeled and cut into shoestrings
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika for added flavor
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the shoestring-cut Russet potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure all the fries are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to achieve maximum crispiness. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Once the fries are baked, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese while they are still hot, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
- Garnish the fries with finely chopped parsley for a fresh touch and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Tip 1: Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch and help achieve crispiness.
Tip 2: Store leftover fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven for the best texture.
Variation: Try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
