Cheese Topping
Method
Preparing the Fries
- 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 2
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes, then cut them into thin fries (about 1/4 inch thick).
- 3
Soak the fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry with a clean towel.
- 4
In a large bowl, toss the dried fries with duck fat, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- 5
Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Adding Cheese
- 7
While the fries are baking, grate the cheddar and parmesan cheeses.
- 8
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the grated cheddar and parmesan cheeses generously over the top.
- 9
Return the fries to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnishing
- 10
Finely chop the green onions.
- 11
Once the cheesy fries are out of the oven, sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top for added color and flavor.
