Method
Potato Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to form fries.
- 2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries into a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
- 3
Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
- 4
Season the Fries
In a large bowl, toss the dried fries with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Cooking the Fries
- 5
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- 6
Bake the Fries
Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Topping and Serving
- 7
Add Parmesan
Remove the fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot fries so that it melts slightly.
- 8
Garnish and Serve
Finish with chopped fresh parsley for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Parmesan fries!
