Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Peel Potatoes

    Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Peel the potatoes using a vegetable peeler.

  2. 2

    Cut into Waffle Fries

    Using a waffle cutter or a sharp knife, cut the potatoes into waffle shapes. Aim for 1/4 inch thickness for best results.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the fries.

  2. 4

    Season the Fries

    In a large bowl, combine the waffle-cut potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.

  3. 5

    Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Spread the seasoned potato waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overlapping for even cooking.

  4. 6

    Bake the Fries

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until the fries are golden and crispy.

  5. 7

    Add Parmesan Cheese

    Remove the fries from the oven and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese while they are still hot. Toss gently to coat.

  6. 8

    Serve

    Serve the waffle fries hot, either plain or with your favorite dipping sauce.
